A closer look
The ocean floor is a time capsule, hiding the secrets of sunken ships. But as glaciers recede and water levels shift, these secrets are rising from their watery graves. Climate change is peeling back nature’s covers, revealing wooden hulls once preserved by cold or swallowed by tides. Each wreck is more than rotted timber; it’s a frozen story—cargo, journeys, and lives dashed long ago. Suddenly, coastal archaeologists find history at their feet, not at the bottom of the sea. It’s haunting and thrilling, a reminder that our planet’s changing rhythms don’t just touch the future—they unlock the past.
