Reading the title, I thought it was about another new database engine!
Crashes as soon as I zoomed in to a land locked region to see if rivers/lakes were included. Now I get 404 when I try navigating back to the main page
> wrecksite.eu is not available in Russia, Belarus and countries supporting or ignoring the war in Ukraine: China, Syria, Iran, India, Serbia, North Korea, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Hungary

Interesting move. First time seeing it. Any other sites that do this?

Namecheap told everyone with a Russian billing address to f off and use another service. Even if the dirty russkie was hosting a dissident site, unless you beg them to let you stay.
Lol in my experience... that is the norm of namecheap customer support service !
Can't say about interesting but extremely black-white approach to the world, third world countries like India taking sides would mean million dying indirectly from poverty. Russia's war is terrible but to there's no point to put a country where 30 kids die out 1000 birth to put under scrutiny for being vulnerable to energy prices.
Seems like this data should find its way into the OSM database one of these days.
Hah every one of the maps that interest me are behind a paywall on that site.
this site is so beautiful. Very old school and has so much information. Just a pleasure to browse it.
Ship wreck databases are very useful for recreational fishing, as fish tend to congregate and feed near underground structures.
For a historic wreck, the location may be kept secret to protect it from scavengers. But then fishing boats don’t know to avoid it and their nets get caught, damaging the wreck and making future preservation more hazardous. There is some debate now which threat is worse.
Would divers use these locations wreckreationally?
