Help me with this :((
The first images the world saw of the wreck showed the metal hull or body of the ship, draped in what look like strange underwater icicles.
Anyone could help me explain the meaning of the red sentence. l don't understand both what it means and what kind of grammar applied to this sentence ( especially the part " the world saw of..). l never see " saw "go with "of"
before.
