There is a legend that the sunken ships in the ocean do not go to the bottom and hang at a certain depth, traveling as underwater "The Flying Dutchman", together with the ocean currents. Jules Verne in his novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" even described the hanging motionless in the water wreck, and wrecks allegedly rot, hanging freely in the water.
Is this true, or ships still reach the bottom? The water pressure in the depths of the ocean really is enormous quantities. At a depth of 10 m water presses with force of 10 N per 1 cm2 of the body immersed at a depth of 100 m - 0.1 kN and 1000 m - 1 kN and t. D. Ocean may also have a depth of a few kilometers, reaching the deepest Pacific more than 11 km. You can calculate the tremendous pressure should experience water and floating in her body at these depths.

Perelman, concluded that "there can be no doubt that wrecks lie on the ocean floor." Leaves no chance for even inverted keel up ships. Here he writes about it JI Perelman:
"I have heard this objection. If carefully dip the glass upside down in the water, he could stay in this position, because it will displace a volume of water weighs the same as a glass. Heavier metallic glass can be kept in a similar position and below the water level, not sinking to the bottom. Similarly, can stop halfway up the keel and capsized cruiser or another vessel. If in some areas of the vessel will be air tightly locked, the ship will sink to a certain depth and stay there.
Because not enough ships goes to the bottom upside down, and it is possible that some of them did not reach the bottom, left hanging in the dark depths of the ocean. It would be easy enough thrust to bring such a ship out of balance, flip, fill it with water and make fall to the bottom, but where will the tremors in the depths of the ocean, where reigns eternal peace and quiet and where not penetrate even the echoes of
