Sunken ship fettish

Was bored and avoiding doing my calculus homework, lol. I love to look at pictures of shipwrecks and other sunken things that have been in the ocean for a while. I thought the war towers and stuff were cool, so I figured I'd share

I love working on the rigs. they are technologically is some of the most advanced in the world. NASA uses alot of similar stuff. for example high pressure non corrosive tubing like autoclave. that **** is HARD to run..

if your avoiding homework its something cool to waste time.

I myself have always been interested in shipwrecks. Not sure how long of a drive it is for you to the Cincinnati,OH area but there is an abandoned ship in a small creek there that has been in both world wars and even used by Thomas Edison at one point for experiments.

If you are there on the right day and the creek is low enough you can actually board the ship. I saw it with my son a couple years ago when we went to the Parts Express Midwest Audio Fest. Definitely worth the drive for me which was about 6 hours from home.

Here ya go. A cement ship.. Yes concrete built ship S.S Selma off of Galveston Texas

 

[adulbrich 5,000+ posts]

Cool, the sea forts were on barges made of concrete.

I wonder if being made out of concrete was what sunk the Selma, lol

 

[djr4x4]

The ship was launched on June 28, 1919, the same day Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles, officially ending World War I. As a result, the 7,500-ton ship never served during the war, but instead was placed into service as an oil tanker in the Gulf of Mexico.

On May 31, 1920, the Selma hit a jetty in Tampico, Mexico, ripping a 60 foot hole in her hull. After attempts to repair the ship in Galveston failed and efforts to sell the ship proved unsuccessful, US officials decided to intentionally scuttle the ship. A channel 1,500 feet long and 25 feet deep was dug to a point just off Pelican Island's eastern shoreline where on March 9, 1922, the ship was laid to rest.

Guess being made out of concrete it was to hard to repair any damage done to the hull..

One of the Destroyer Tenders I served aboard was purposely sunk and turned into a reef. Mixed feelings about that.

Diving among various wreckages would be a memorable experience though, I'm sure.

I think it's cool that they created a reef habitat out of it, but I get that it would be sad for you. What kind of condition was it in? Was it in bad shape, or did they waste a perfectly functional ship?

I'd like to dive in the wreckage. I've been scuba diving before, but it was when I was younger. I didn't go too deep because there was a lot of pressure on my ears and it gave me a headache. Breathing underwater feels weird too, lol.
