I first heard of the ghost fleet in Mallows Bay about 20 years ago. There was more to them then. The years have not been kind, based on the images I have seen.

I always thought it would be cool to visit them, but as you note, they are not exactly easy to visit.

Yeah, started out with a couple hundred of them.

Reminds me of a book from several years ago "The World Without Us" by Alan Weisman. He describes what would happen if humans disappeared overnight and how all of our creations would gradually break down and revert to the planet.
