An underwater museum was recently inaugurated in Turkey, where fourteen shipwrecks including the British HMS Majestic battleship from World War I have been put on display. 

Gallipoli Historic Underwater Park is situated under the Dardanelles Strait off the coast of Turkey. It gives a glimpse into the fierce battle that took place between Ottoman and Allied Forces in World War I.

The museum opened 106 years after Ottoman and allied German forces halted an invasion by British, French, Australian and New Zealand troops. 

Turkish photographer Savas Karakas, whose grandfather is a World War I veteran was among the first who visited the iconic site.
