    It has 230 ft, that’s 70 m since we’re in Europe

      I wonder what tonnage a vessel that size would be?

        Probably a ship wreck

    Probably a ship sunk during WWI or WWII.

      If that’s the case, I’m surprised there is no historical record of the sinking, either from the country that owned it, or the one that sunk it.

      That’s a great question. They almost look like blocks, and one looks moved right by the wrecked ship. When was the last time the Baltic Sea was above sea level?

      Possible artifacting if the surveying was done by 2 ships a certain distance from each other?

        Only thing i know is that the british channel was created after thawing lakes at the end of the ice age flooded their way. Probably something similiar with the baltic sea. And before the ice age, there were no civilizations. And even before that, there was even deeper sea (before europe surfaced). So, probably never.

          Presumably not before the mini ice age ~12k years ago… you mean the full-blown ice age right.

          (I don’t know the proper terms of the eras sorry)

        Btw, not to derail the point, but how do you embedd images instead of as link?

          Like this. I think the image also has to be on its own line.

        I believe the wrinkles that look like waves are the sand ground and it’s deep under water and we don’t see the water surface.

          I agree about the wave/wrinkle looking things. I’m talking about the block looking things above the ship, and one beside it that looks like it moved from above it. I’m not sure how Lemmy works across instances but I did add a picture to my comment.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
