The mysterious cemeteries of giant ships

Gigantic ships like rusty whales.Creatures, formerly glorious, who now sleep the dream of oblivion with their empty bellies, their whining mastiffs and their toothless bows.They are no longer useful to man and lie as creatures from another world in the most inhospitable places on our planet.

Have you ever stopped to think about the fate of the oldest ships? Today at Lifestyle we will get to know the amazing cemeteries of giant ships.

The last voyage of the big giant ships

Scrapping of Alang beach in India

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.

The mysterious cemeteries of giant ships

Kamchatka, to the northeast of Russia

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.

Cemeteries of ships and other best known ships

One of the most impressive ship cemeteries in the world is that of Nouadhibou, in Mauritania. More than 350 ships reside on its most complete dune coast in the most complete of forgetfulness.I saw from afar that scenario seems from another world.Darkness and science fiction draw a unique canvas for every lover of curious landscapes.There are corners where a certain hint of beauty is not excluded, such as the one you see in the image above, but most of the boats are piled up next to each other, creating a really scary place, although worthy of being visited.>
Nouadhibou Cemetery in Mauritania

On Alang beach in India , we can find another rather peculiar scenario.It is not a cemetery, but a scrap yard.who arrive more than half of the ships that have once crossed our seas and oceans.Ferris, aircraft carriers, ships, tankers, cruise ships...Every year thousands of Indians dismantle more than 700 ships from around the world.
Another of the most impressive ship cemeteries-perhaps the darkest of all- is the Aral Sea. Until recently, here was one of the largest and most saline lakes on our planet.An area with great historical and economic past of Russia.It was in the times of the Soviet Union when Stalin, seeing the great famine that passed the country, decided to convert part of Central Asia into a large field of Cultivation of cotton.To do this, incredible dams, canals and reservoirs were built, making Uzbekistan gradually become one of the largest cotton producers.However, after a while, its immense lake dried up.As the sea of Aral was drying up, all his ships were stranded for themselves enter those arenas.

One of the cemeteries of ships and other more amazing ships is that of the Kamchatka region, north-east of Russia .It is a place worth visiting if you are a lover of the strange, and contrasts.you will find these gigantic rusty creatures in the middle of the steppe and stranded in the middle of an icy sea.You can distinguish not only giant ships, but also spectacular submarines.All of them trapped forever in a sea too cold and in the forgetfulness of some men unable to take responsibility for their own works.Cemeteries of ships or dumps of that sophisticated garbage that one day harmonized our economy or defended the name of the occasional war.
