When a ship reaches the end of its useful life large legal problems often open up.One option is to dismantle them to repair other vessels and to obtain parts that can be sold at a good price in the market.But the truth is that there are many taxes that must be paid for this renovation process to be carried out, so what is the most practical solution?

Cemeteries and subsequent forgetting.Many ships are piled up in reconditos ports waiting for something to be done with them.Meanwhile, time covers them with rust, the saltpeter hurts its parts and its shells, formerly regal and was rts, are gradually becoming authentic ghosts.

Seeing these imposing giant ships one can intuit many things from their past, from their trips, from the crew that sailed seas and oceans aboard their skeletons now gnawed by time.Who spends a lot of time in these cemeteries is accustomed to listening to their moans, the crackling of their decks and old fuel tanks.They speak of a too recent past and a present that has them forgotten, stranded in the coasts of distant countries where no one will trust them again.

They are rusty ghosts, giant creatures that were part of our economy, our armies and even those wars that continually cross the uncertain barriers of legality in terms of oceans and borders.
