I know there are other WWII buffs here and photo enthusiasts. The site below has some of the most amazing wreck photos I’ve ever seen. I’m a diver and I’d love to dive this site, called the best dive site in the world.
It’s Truk Lagoon, in Micronesia. In 1944 the U.S. launched an operation that was called the Japanese Pearl Harbor. They destroyed 60 ships and 275 aircraft, which now litter the lagoon floor making it the biggest ship graveyard in the world. Most of the wrecks were left untouched for nearly 25 years as people feared setting off the thousands of sunken bombs. Many of the shipwrecks in the scuba-diving paradise have cargo holds full of aircraft, tanks, bulldozers, railroad cars, motorcycles, torpedoes, mines, bombs, munitions, radios, thousands of various weapons, human remains and other artifacts.
More than 3,000 people were thought to have been killed and some divers say that the wrecks in Truk Lagoon are haunted.
Destination Truth conducted an underwater ghost hunting expedition in Truk Lagoon. While diving at the
Hoki Maru, the divers recorded sounds of running engines in the cargo hold full of trucks. Here’s a virtual adventure with wreck divers who explored and photographed the Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon.
