nope they go down with the ship
wreck of the MV Karawela
strangely with a beetle on the deck 
but how far did it have to go in the water to reach the ship????
and any fool knows that having the engine lid off will let the water in..... lol
maybe it was cargo??

What cheek. You can't even park you beetle at the bottom of the ocean without someone nicking parts off it!!
Man, the ship's deck has holes rusted through, but the beetle is still there, that's rust protection!
A lot of that would probably polish out with a bit of rubbing
would make a perfect rat lol.
Lee, bug is down 32meters, ocean floor is 40meters

WoW that's so cool
This one even has a few goodies left on it.
Sad to see this oval ragtop sitting 100mtrs below the surface but.
with that oval all you need is 2 inflatable rubber dingies put it inside the cabin and inflate, i bet she would still run :P
I love how the wipers were on when it went down - if only Beetle wipers worked better !!!
cool pics, i have video proof that they can float though, obviously the ones in your pics dont though

Floating, not sure how long it would float for.
Such a shame to see those beaut cars at the bottom of the ocean.

a friend tried to drive his manx across the jardin river in flood, thought if he got a fast run, it would skim across. lucky his rope was tied to roll bar so when he had to start swimmin he took rope in mouth n tied his buggy to a tree on the other side. so manxs dont float or his didnt.

Such a shame to see them down the bottom of the ocean, but wow those photos are cool.
