Few people live to tell of being trapped in a big boat that sinks in the middle of the open sea.
But now terrifying footage has emerged capturing exactly what it would be like being trapped on a ship as it goes down - slowly disappearing into the abyss, as the shock waves throughout.
The chilling film was shot aboard The Pocahontas, also known as The Danny, using GoPro HD cameras as it sank in Lake Worth in Florida last year.
The film begins with The Pocahontas appearing to take a small amount of water as it navigates relative calm in Lake Worth.
The more water the ship becomes heavier blocks, push the dwindling container until the water starts licking on their sides.
Very quickly the ship begins to lean to the left, allowing the water almost completely covers the deck.
The sheer weight of the water continues to drag the port side of the ship down, and within seconds the camera itself is underwater.
The images then becomes a bit unstable and water is full of bubbles - both of which give the impression of someone frightening breathing hard, as they are absorbed below the surface.
After several moments of disorientation camera being hit by debris, the footage eventually settles in an eerie calm as the ship seems to come from a break in the lake bed.
The video then cuts to another camera located inside what looks like the hull of the ship.
Even in low light, several fragments of daylight the way into town - letting the viewer know that the footage is once again back before the ship sank.
The boat begins to oscillate however, and after a particularly big lurch forward water starts bubbling inside - filling it from floor to ceiling in just over a second. Again debris crashes into the camera before everything goes strangely quiet - give the viewer a strange idea of what it must be like to have sunk a boat.
The images, published by the Association of Golf Diving Palm Beach and Charters small Deeper - The owners of a chartered dive boat operating on Lake Park in Florida.
According to the YouTube channel of the company that the cameras were installed in the Pocahontas by Dean Shuler of Pura Vida Divers shortly before it fell in February 2013.
The doomed vessel remains 75 feet below the surface of Lake Worth, in a body of water near Singer Island.
