Orcas relentlessly battered a yacht in a “terrifying” two-hour attack Wednesday that didn’t end until the $128,680 vessel sunk to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

Robert Powell, 59, and his crew were just 22 hours into their 10-day trip from Vilamoura, Portugal, to Greece when the pod set its sights on the £100,000 — or $128,680 — sailing boat.

“To me, they were not playing at all, they knew exactly what they were doing. They knew the weak points of the boat, and they knew how to sink it,” Powell, who was meant to be celebrating his birthday aboard the boat,...

Imagine dropping an ultra-expensive luxury timepiece in the sea. The odds of retrieving the watch would be next to nothing; after all, the search would be like finding a needle in a haystack. However, a lucky Patek Philippe owner was reunited with his prized possession a year later after it slipped off his wrist while he was jumping off a boat into the sea. A hobby diver named Giorgio tracked down the watch using a metal detector and his diving skills. The incident took place in the summer of 2023 when a traveler lost his Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time while he was swimming off the Spanish coast at Mallorca.

Ace diver finds an $80,000 Patek Philippe watch lost a year ago in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. The timepiece was covered in coral and has been returned to its owner, who is hopeful that it may start ticking again.

The Time Bandit Is Back on 'Deadliest Catch' After Fans Asked Where the Fishing Vessel Went

Thousands of schloofing sharks were spotted in an underwater sleepover party off the coast of Australia. The shiver consisted of Port Jackson sharks, a species that inhabits Australia’s southern coastal waters. The sharks are known for their somewhat bizarre appearance, with two prominent ridges running from their blunt noses to the backs of their heads. The sharks, which can grow up to 5.5 feet (1.6 meters) in length, are nocturnal and spend their nights hunting for squid, octopuses, and crustaceans. Unlike many other shark species, Port Jackson sharks are not considered a threatened or endangered species.

They were almost in deep ship!

A superyacht capsized in the Chesapeake Bay near Washington, DC, forcing passengers to plunge into the water as it sank — and prompting a dramatic rescue, authorities said.

Striking footage shows the $8 million superyacht — which docks at the Annapolis Yacht Club and costs $125,000 to charter per week — sinking on its side in a heavily traveled area near the mouth of the West River.
