While not necessarily discovered, the HMVS Cerberus is a stunning historic warship that has remained submerged off the coast of Victoria for many years now. It was originally built for the colony of Victoria back in the 1800s.
Although it had all of the components to be a formidable war vessel, it never actually saw battle and remained in the Philip Bay port during its operational years – which lasted about half a century. When it was deemed obsolete, the vessel was intentionally sunk in 1926 to serve as a breakwater. Since then, it has been clearly visible for locals and tourists alike to see.
The SS Mahratta(s)
The first Mahratta steamship was launched in 1891, and it served as a troopship for the Boer War in 1900. It ran aground after it was found out that the captain failed to take the right course, not recognizing the Gull Light, and was stuck in the Goodwin Sands.
Fortunately, the weather permitted its passengers to be transferred. Some were even allowed the right of salvage, but eventually, the ship was torn in two by bad weather. A second ship was made in 1917, but it was also wrecked similarly in 1939. Search operations found it on top of the first Mahratta, as if they had long sought each other across the seas.
The Baltic Sea Anomaly
You’ll never know what you might encounter while probing the deep. A marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean, the Ocean X company embarked on a treasure-hunting mission around the area, armed with high-tech equipment to scan the bottom of the sea with sonar imagery.
Expecting to find some clues of ancient treasures, they stumble upon an oddly shaped image of what looks like an alien spaceship on the floor of the northern Baltic Sea. The discovery was made in 2011, and they scampered to get a sample of the structure, which turned out to be made of stone. Scientists are still unsure of its origin, but speculate that it might be a product of glacial and volcanic processes.
The MS Zenobia
There is something about shipwrecks that captivates us. To dive deep into the ocean and be in the same space that was once so deadly to many people, a place no one could escape from. To dive with a fiery imagination and perhaps discover the remains of a tragic event.
Tumbled trucks, decadent, can be found in what used to be the MS Zenobia. Its maiden voyage turned into a fiasco in 1980. The Swedish ferry rests at the bottom of the sea, close to Larnaca, Cyprus. Since then, it has evolved into a favorite spot for divers all around the world.
Kedrai
Located on Sedir Island, the ancient city of Kedrai was located not too far from what was known as Cleopatra’s Beach. During its peak, Kedrai was a significant center of trade, tracing its origins back to the 6th century BC. Kedrai literally means “cedar,” as there were plenty of cedar trees on the island.
However, that is no longer the case. There was no singular event in which the ruins were discovered, but many excavations and digs have been conducted over the years. One of the most significant sites of Kedrai is the 2500-seat theatre, which still stands until this very day.
