Ever wanted to explore Europe's shipwrecks without donning your wetsuit? The Virtual Exploration of Underwater Sites (Venus) project is already working on it.
Organisations specialising in archaeology, underwater exploration, virtual reality and digital data preservation, including the University of Hull, are working on the project to map out the shipwrecks around Europe's coastline.
Just a handful of wrecks around France, Italy and Portugal have been mapped so far but the project is already producing images such as the one above that shows the vessel from which users will be able to start their virtual shipwreck tour.
