Originally Published 1 year ago — by Business Insider
The 2024 winners of the Underwater Photographer of the Year competition have been announced, featuring eerie underwater scenes of shipwrecks, rusted tanks, and a sunken passenger plane. The "wrecks" category showcases sunken ships, tanks, a plane, and a helicopter, with images capturing military cargo, ship's wheels, and passenger airline seats eerily intact in their watery resting places. Notable shots include a diver among a graveyard of whale skeletons, sunken Chieftain tanks in a tactical battle formation, and the well-preserved 19th-century wooden schooner Kyle Spangler at the bottom of Lake Huron.
