Marine debris field discovered at 1,500 meters in Gulf of Mexico

Researchers searching for a shipwreck in the Gulf of Mexico identified a large debris field consisting of industrial appliances, including refrigerators and washing machines, at a depth of 1,500 meters. The origin of the cargo remains unconfirmed, though it appears to be the result of a maritime transport accident that has since created an artificial habitat for local marine life.
