Ghost ships plundered for cargo

From The Telegraph of London:

Soaring commodity prices have inspired a new marine salvage venture to plunge the ocean depths in search of shipwrecked copper and tin. snip Deep6 has acquired a detailed archive of more than 200 20th-century shipping and cargo losses. It will be assisted by David Mearns, a world expert in shipwreck location. The archive contains the coordinates of merchant vessels that were sunk en route to England or Germany during the Second World War.

OK, it's not spooky on it's face, but it has enough details to inspire amateur horror writers.
