Once they were floating palaces, but now they are only ghosts.

I've been on it. The area just out of view from the TP is another graveyard, just a couple boats. Not sure how it got there but it's packed with junk. It's listing to the side pretty bad since I've been on it so be careful if you venture out

Sad to see the Glory days of the vessel being over. Thinking of the crew that worked on it.

Hello CaptainS. Granted what you say is on some level accuate, what parts are still good on a vessel like the one represented by this photo (an excellent photo by the way) "Bridge"? It does not seem to make sense to allow the good parts to settle into the mud. Once the goodies were gone why weren'tn't the shells scrapped out? Surely the yard has the means to do this.
