About This Tool

In October 1968, U.S. Navy searchers located the sinking ship, the scorpion, at a depth of 9,800 feet (more than 3,000 meters) at the edge of the Sargasso Sea in a remote area of the mid-Atlantic. It has long been listed by sailors as one of the world’s most difficult and dangerous routes to navigate. But scientists don’t know exactly why, only that it may be due to local magnetic fields or gravity. This random tool has recorded the number of shipwrecks that have sunk here, estimated at 634, and have historically been considered a danger zone.

A list of the sunken ships, their time, their main location, the cause of their sinking, and who they belonged to, is kept intact in the generator for further exploration. While these listed wrecks have been salvaged by scientists and studied and dissected, others, which have yet to be discovered, lie forever silent at the bottom of the deep ocean, waiting to see the light again.

Click the "Display All Items" button and you will get a list of shipwrecks in the mid-Atlantic Ocean.
