Wreck Hunting: Interpreting Visual Clues Like a Pro

Описание: Identifying a shipwreck isn't just about luck—it's about seeing what others miss. In this video, I break down the specific visual clues that turn a pile of rust into a identified piece of history. I'm diving deep to interpret specific visual clues—from boiler shapes to hull plating patterns—that turn a pile of rust into a positively identified ship.

If you want to move beyond just sightseeing and start truly analyzing the history in front of you, this breakdown is for you.

In this video, we cover:

👉 The key features of steamship wrecks
👉 The specific visual markers I look for first
