A Ticking Time Bomb

The Lethal Legacy of Wrecks from World War II

This 52 minute documentary sheds light why it is good to know where the sunken ships of the Second World War are. Though it grossly underestimates the number of sunken vessels as a result of that conflict (8,500 over 400 tons – in reality that number is around 12,800), it is a wonderful blend of mapping, history and environmental science that illuminates the value of my project of mapping the location of every ship sunk in the Second World War.
