45 Photos of Things That Are Way, Way Bigger Than We Realized

While shipwrecks intrigue many, we’ve already established how frightening large nautical objects are for both megalophobes and thalassophobes. We can add submechanophobia – a fear of partially submerged man-made objects – and navisphobia – the fear of shipwrecks – as well. In fact, this photo runs the gambit. Homichlophobia – the fear of fog – would be triggered as well! We’re not making this up.

Shipwrecks are pretty common, with over three million reported worldwide, which means a few of these fears aren’t quite as irrational as we think. However, for spelunkers, shipwrecks are a dream come true. These abandoned sites have varying degrees of decay, and sometimes, unique objects can be found inside.
