Maritime archaeologist and historian James Delgado rates 11 shipwreck scenes in movies for realism.

Delgado breaks down the accuracy of discovering and investigating shipwrecks in "Titanic" (1997), with Leonardo DiCaprio; "Uncharted" (2022), with Tom Holland; "Finding Nemo" (2003); and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" (2003), starring Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. He looks at the realism of nature causing shipwrecks in "Life of Pi" (2012) and "The Perfect Storm" (2000), starring Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney. He rates the plausibility of shipwrecking caused by deliberate attacks and equipment failures in "In the Heart of the Sea" (2015), with Chris Hemsworth; "Speed 2: Cruise Control" (1997); "The Finest Hours" (2016); and "USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage" (2016), starring Nicolas Cage. He also explains the accuracy of deep-sea exploration in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" (2022).

Delgado is a maritime archaeologist and maritime-preservation expert with 45 years of experience. He has investigated over 100 shipwrecks, including the Titanic; the atomic-bomb test fleet at Bikini Atoll; the last known US slave ship, Clotilda; and ancient wrecks such as Kublai Khan's lost fleet. He has authored and edited 33 books and was a host of National Geographic's "The Sea Hunters." He is the senior vice president of Search Inc. Marvel Studios' "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" is out now to buy and keep in the UK.
