Opinion

Shipwrecks seem interesting and fascinating. They have some history and this is why they are interesting. You don't know how they wreck so you get curious. It could be a hurricane or an iceberg or torpedoes. There is no history that we know about so that's how it is fascinating. We are currently researching on how some ships sunk. It gives no knowledge about it so we have to research about it.
