Ship-Shape Shipwreck: Difference between revisions

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

 

== [[Film]] ==

* In ''[[Donkey Kong Country]] 2'', there's a pirate ship sitting in ''lava.''

* In ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', the Al Bhed retrieve the [[Global Airship]] from the bottom of the sea, where it's been for a thousand years. And they get it working. The continued existence of lots of Machina a millenium after the production thereof was banned implies that the ancients ''really'' [[Ragnarok Proofing|built to last]].

* ''[[Hostile Waters]]'' makes an effort to play this as straight as possible while also subverting it. Antaeus Cruiser 00 is in remarkably good condition after spending 20 years on the ocean bed. It manages to surface and set sailing just fine despite the long rest. Thankfully, nothing essential got damaged too badly, so after a visit in a dry dock the ship is at (or at least, near) full operational capacity, though they are signs she never gets as good as new. 00's sister ship, 04 isn't as lucky. She doesn't wake from her nap on the ocean bed. They justify this through the use of advanced nanotechnology. Both 00 and 04 have creation engines on board with trillions of the little things, which would have repaired 04, too, if it had received the signal.

* ''[[Futurama]]'' shows a pirate ship at the bottom of the ocean a thousand years from our present time.

* The climax of Disney's ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' had Ursula control the weather and raise a veritable ''fleet'' of derelict wooden sailing ships. Prince Eric is even able to gain control of one and steer it.
