The majority of these wrecks belong to only three countries: United States (52%), UK (24%) and Spain (13%).

The Bahamas in the Caribbean have been the site of many shipwrecks over the centuries. Now the Allen Exploration team inside the project Lost Ships of the Bahamas made a map of the ships scattered throughout the archipelago. IFLScience writes about it.

“The maritime history of the Bahamas is extremely rich, but no previous study has attempted to systematically assess the extent of shipwrecks in these waters. The power of Caribbean hurricanes, is thought to be an alarming amount of lost ships. , which is likely to be as high as 5,000,” the company said in a report.

Scientists found reports of 176 shipwrecks between 1526 and 1976. And only 19 of these wrecks were found below the surface of the ocean.

“The stark contrast between the historical record of 176 maritime disasters and the 19 wrecks found by AllenX shows the untapped potential of the region. Eighty-nine percent of the total remains undetected, with more more discoveries to come,” the researchers said.

According to them, only two ships sank there after World War II in 1945. The majority of these wrecks belong to only three countries: United States (52%), UK (24%) and Spain (13%) .

It is also known that 114 are merchant ships.

It will be remembered, scientists have revealed new secrets of the city of Lion that was flooded in China. It was launched underwater on purpose in 1959. It came as part of the government’s ambitious effort to build the Xin’an Dam and an associated hydroelectric power plant.
