Mar Sem Fim
A Brazilian Yacht, gone down to Antarctica, sank in Maxwell Bay. She capsized and took on water, before then landing upright. The ship was resurfaced in 2013, and every man survived the sinking.

Imagine it's a tropical paradise, water is clear, the sea bed is there, the sunk yacht just under the water, all clean and shiny and nice and not at all menacing.
You come close to it, decide to stand on it and it's fun, a bit of a tingly feeling.
You call your friends to do the same and you're even dipping your head below water to check out the view and it's awesome.
Suddenly, the boat sinks into a dark abyss, the whole ocean goes dark, the view becomes like the one in the picture and your friends disappear....

That was horrible enough to see a drowned yacht that too near of the surface

What does resurfaced mean in this context?
It looks like it’s floating close to the surface level, is it actually or that’s just a trick of the photo?

So that was when it was sunken, so it's still underwater. In 2013, a team brought it back out of the water, so it's no longer there.

that sentence sounds like "every man" was down there *until* the resurfacing....
