Truk Lagoon
Located off the coast of Micronesia is the largest ship graveyards in the world. During WWII, Japan chose Truk Lagoon as their headquarters for the battle against the Allies in the South Pacific. This soon became their largest stronghold until February of 1944, when American troops launched an attack that sank over 60 ships and 275 airplanes.
Now, it’s a creepy, submerged, wreck-filled place. The entire lagoon is ringed with coral that protects all the sunken ships and planes from the turbulence of the ocean, leaving everything surprisingly intact. Now divers are able to swim through everything and brave the sharks, unused bombs, boxes of supplies and human remains that lay littered across the decks of the lost ships.
That’s pretty hecking creepy.
