I lived in Miami, Florida for several years. South Florida is home to one of the largest coral reefs in the world, the Florida Reef. I have been blessed to snorkel in the shallow, pristine waters and experience the Florida Reef quite a few times. Over the course of my snorkeling excursions, I learned about the shipwrecks that have occurred there. In some cases, the once great ships have become small ecosystems. Vibrant schools of fish swim through the coral and metal playgrounds. It is fun to think about the stories these shipwrecks tell. They speak of exploration and adventure, of celestial navigation gone wrong, of pirates and treasure, of royalty and “new” worlds. Without words they tell the story of new life from wreckage. Without words they exemplify the complex relationship between nature and the built world. Without words the testify to resilience and beauty.
