Some rusted ships in harbours or the..
Shipway docks, cause they are very dirty
especialy some people who lives inside
the houses near the harbours with some
little children which scares the life out of
them and some old people would have
a hart attack as soon as they see those.
rusty ships which is true is the reason why
they are not allowed in harbours which is
like been inside the graveyard and they
should be broken to pieces and burned
right now for the safety reason with out
seeing some rusty what meens now

THANKS
