Fans say the use of an accurate physics engine to reimagine historic shipwrecks makes it \u2018difficult to look away\u2019<\/p>\n

A shark swims slowly and serenely beneath the Bismarck seconds before it sinks deep into the ocean. Seemingly out of nowhere, the battleship tilts and falls; its bow crashes on to the seabed.
