We are grateful to STEVEN L PRICE and his colleagues at the Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory for the opportunity to share these remarkable images of military vehicles dumped in the Pacific Ocean.

Although they are actually carrying out a deep sea scientific and research mission, finding wrecks is proving an interesting sideline. Steve tells us the team have found submarines, landing craft and aeroplanes in the past and have recently found some classic cars but these amazing discoveries are predominantly Great War period vehicles.

Landlubber TIM GOSLING owner of the worlds second largest collection of WWI lorries describes the aquatic treasures.
Quite remarkably this FWD landed on all four wheels when it hit the ocean bottom. It lies at a depth of four-hundred metres a few miles south of Oahu.
