Missing Dutch warship wrecks.
Almost certainly salvaged for scrap but it seems incredible that there is no trace of them.

To put it mildly I disagree with the sellers turn of phrase ‘before it was scrapped’. Illegally salvaged or grave robbed would be more accurate. The before (2007) and after (2016) pictures. |
