Can’t or won’t dive? Wrecks in 3D

Apologies if posted already - I do not visit often.

 

 

Technology is taking leaps currently, and scanning and modelling (the computer kind) now enable the existance of armchair wreck divers.

 

The Swedish digital wreck museum has uploaded a couple a while ago. I had somehow missed them and thought I’d share.

 

The Anna Maria, a fluyt from the first decade of the 18th century:

An unidentified wreck, probably another fluyt from the same time:

The 3D models are towards the bottom of the pages, and you can freely move around in them. The colouring and lighting appear to be designed to give the feeling of actually diving.

 

Has anyone has seen any more?

How cool!

I know there are a bunch on sketchfab (a 3D marketplace), which is, it seems, what the Vrak museum is using to host their models.  

 

An account from the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary has a series of Great Lakes shipwrecks:

There's a near-endless flow of 3D work to look through, but here are some other notable wrecks I've come across on the site that you might enjoy:
