Where do boats go when they die? Sometimes they end up in vast ship graveyards, sometimes craggy, foggy places where ships have met their doom, and sometimes spots where ships are deliberately left to rust. There’s a quiet beauty to many of these graveyards and their resting inhabitants.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Fascinating stories and images. I wonder why the metal can’t be recycled–perhaps too degraded by the salt?

I’m having a hard time with what you find beautiful ? I guess if someone in your family was down there in a sunken ship you may not see the beauty.

I have a photo of the huge Russian factory ship Arctika in Gloucester Harbor. She was the first Soviet ship to be allowed inside the breakwater. The ship is siphoning herring aboard from a local fishing boat. Years later, Frank Elliott (who built Cruiseport) bought the photo, and told me that Arctika was cut up for scrap in Pakistan.

Ask Ron Gilson what our harbor looked like in the 60’s, before the federal mandated clean-ups. Especially down head of the harbor and “Pirates Cove” and “Cripple Cove” area.
