Can anybody think of real *strange* shipwrecks for weird fiction?
I was looking at writing some fiction around a shipwreck, but when I started researching stranger shipwrecks, I ended up finding lists of 'most beautiful shipwrecks', 'top ten historic shipwrecks to dive' etc...! Not exactly what I'm looking for!
As an example, some ideas I'm thinking about... a small modern ship (trawler?) getting caught in an unexpected sandbank? A ship wrecked by a new island forming? Eg, https://www.space.com/satellites-japan-new-island-still-growing (and see an old GI Joe comic story). Maybe the ship passes over a secretive salvage operation and collides with an ancient shipwreck being raised with flotation devices? Perhaps a submarine surfaces without warning, or a research flip ship rises unexpectedly? A ghost ship comes out of the fog?
I'm looking for other weird but plausible kinds of events that could wreck a fishing trawler - ideally not outright mermaids or UFOs. =)
Can anybody suggest something suitable? Much appreciated!

HMY Campeador V 1938-1940
Hi Reddit,
I'm researching a motor yacht that sank off the Isle of Wight on the 22nd of June 1940 named the Campeador V. The museum I work at has one of its portholes on display and an article of Wreck Dives of the British Isles by Kendall McDonald called The Gallant Gentlemen's Graveyard but nothing else. I have ordered a book named The Gallant Little Campeador by Cecil Hunt and have done a Google search but I'm struggling to come up with any decent photos or to find the names of the crew that survived the sinking, plus any other bits of information.

Anchor Identification
Hey everyone, we are hoping someone might be of aid in identifying any information about this anchor. Back in the 1980s, it was found in the Sydney Harbour, Nova Scotia, by accident when a ship pulled up their anchor, this one coming with it.
We are a museum here in Sydney that now possesses the anchor and are hoping to have just the slightest bit of information uncovered on it since there are zero markings or identifying features on it. From our research, it seems to be an Admiralty Pattern Anchor. There has been countless shipwrecks, sinkings, battles, and much else in our harbour since the late 1700s until now, so we want to hear anything you may know!
Your time and consideration is appreciated,
Jost House Museum

Why are there so little Sengoku era shipwrecks and for that matter ancient east asian shipwrecks.
I have spent quite a lot of time searching through both english and japanese sources but I am yet to find a single shipwreck of a sengoku period ship. For the most part it seems like almost no one has searched for or found any of these. So I am wondering why they are just so uncommon?

What aspect of shipwrecks intrigues you the most?
Picture is an illustration of the MV Salem Express, if you haven’t searched it before warning it is a hard read

Appreciation post for the Andrea Doria. Not only is it a legendary shipwreck, but the actions by Captain Calamai and crew saved 1,660 people of 1,706 people that day, most casualties from the collision with Stockholm

Blackmore Island Wreck in Georgian Bay - any photos?
As a kid, my family owned a cottage on Georgian Bay close to an unidentified shipwreck. In his dive books Chris Kohl labelled this wreck as the "Blackmore Island Wreck" after the closest island. Does anyone know of any underwater photos taken of the wreck? Pre zebra mussels would be awesome
