To many, the words 'shipwreck' and 'sunken ship' conjure images of treasure and piracy in days long since past, but in fact the sunken wrecks of ancient wooden ships are the exception rather than the rule. Over three million shipwrecks are sat on the ocean floor, according to the United Nations.
Some sank because of war, others due to the weather or accidents, and still others have been deliberately scuttled. Here are some fascinating shipwrecks, together with the story behind each wreck.
