+- New Shipwrecks layer (Events): about 8,000 wrecks from EMODnet (CC BY 4.0)
+  and Wikidata (CC0). Each has a card with deaths, date, vessel, cause, depth,
+  position quality and a source link. Markers grow with the death toll, and
+  the same period picker as air accidents filters by year (IMBrandao, #1583).
