一.条款内容

The world's most famous shipwreck may be the RMS Titanic, but the remains of the luxury steamship are visible only to people in deep-sea submersibles and those watching feeds from remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).

Here are 3 mysterious shipwrecks you can see on Google Earth.

Altair off Brazil

This wrecked ship - known as the Altair - is wasting away on the coast of southern Brazil, just south of the Rio Grande. A strong storm sank it in the winter of 1976, and it was later abandoned and looted, according to the Municipal Prefecture of Rio Grande.The ship is now the habitat for many species, and the beach is well known for fishing and nautical sports, including surfing. Tourists visiting the boat can also see sand dunes, waterfalls and wild animals, including black seagulls, tortoises and hawks.

SS Maheno

During World War I, New Zealand converted this passenger ship - the SS Maheno - into a floating hospital, according to New Zealand History.

After the war, the SS Maheno became a passenger ship again, and was later sold to an Osaka ship-breaker company for scrap metal in 1935. But the ship never made it there: A cyclone severed the towline connected with the SS Maheno and the Oonah, the ship towing it, according to Atlas Obscura. Three days later, the Maheno and its small crew were found stranded on the beach of Fraser Island, off the coast of Queensland, Australia.

SS Palo Alto

This famous concrete tanker was made to fight the Central Powers during World War I, but the war ended before it could enter battle.

Why was it made out of concrete? During the war, there were concerns about steel shortages. So, the Emergency Fleet Corporation, formed under President Woodrow Wilson, requested 24 new ships be built out of ferroconcrete and reinforced with steel, according to The Washington Post.

After it was made in Oakland, California, the SS Palo Alto was moved south to Aptos, California, by the Cal-Nevada Company in 1929. In 1930, a pier was constructed to reach the boat, and it became a popular tourist destination, as well as an environmental hazard that was finally cleaned up in 2006.

The ship continues to weather damage. In January 2017, a storm off the coast of California ripped the stern off the SS Palo Alto.
