St. Thomas, USA
From series “Famous Sunken Towns”
Not all settlements, which are currently hidden under water, were exposed to sudden destructive elements. Many cities have unwittingly end up in the flood zone during construction of dams and other structures, thus there are many new flooded settlements. Such places include St. Thomas that suffered during the construction of Lake Mead.
The latter is the largest in the United States; it’s located in the immediate vicinity of Las Vegas. Today this basin is one of the prominent attractions of the state. The length of the artificial lake is about 180 kilometers; its construction has begun in 1924.
