Last Week in Pictures .... worldwide ...


Ship wrecks around the world photographed by Alexander Mustard




British photographer Alex Mustard has travelled the world snapping pictures of wrecked ships lying on the sea bed.

The 36-year-old diving enthusiast has made many strange discoveries while exploring beneath the surface of the sea. A diver discovers a British World War 2 motorbike inside the wreck of the Thistlegorm, Egypt.







"The VW Beetle was purposely sunk for divers and it's particularly bizarre, it's the last thing you would expect to see underwater..."

One particularly fascinating wreck for Alex is the HMS Thislegorm - a British cargo ship that was carrying military supplies when it was sunk by a German bomber in the Red Sea in 1941
