Amazing condition after seventy years.

+1 At about 46 seconds into the 2nd video, you can still see the rifling in the deck gun's barrel.

Zero oxygen at that depth to cause metal to deteriorate. Designated a grave site now.

Still paint on the propeller of that aircraft seen in the first video.

The information on the first video was interesting, but the pictures were the same over and over. The battle of Coral Sea was one of the big ones for the area and I’m sure there’s a LOT more stuff sitting on the ocean floor.
