It's kinda creepy, actually. And it reminds me of that scene from Pirates of the Carribean 3. Maybe it was inspired by this place.

The Google map is amazing. Shame you can't zoom in even further.

I found that sad in a way. I got the creepy feeling, too. The Google map goes on & on. Good clip!

i wonder if the rising commodity prices will make it more cost effective to recycle the ships rather than dumping them.

More than 300 old ships (most of them 25-50 years old) from all nations were dumped here during last 20 years.</DIV><BR />There is no mystery in how those ships got there, for years Mauritanian harbor officers were taking bribes and allowing ships to be discarded in the harbor. Discarding a ship is very expensive so during the years many companies from all over the world got rid of their unwanted ships cheaply in the Bay of Nouadhibou.<SPAN class="fullpost"><BR /><BR /><BR /><A href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhUQiOYnlI/AAAAAAAABRg/pVkMyzveDb4/s1600-h/shipwreck03.jpg"><IMG border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032865226628308562" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhUQiOYnlI/AAAAAAAABRg/pVkMyzveDb4/s400/shipwreck03.jpg" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhUQyOYnmI/AAAAAAAABRo/UFBHvXME4rY/s1600-h/shipwreck03.jpg"><IMG border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032865230923275874" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhUQyOYnmI/AAAAAAAABRo/UFBHvXME4rY/s400/shipwreck03.jpg" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhUQyOYnnI/AAAAAAAABRw/1iRYdQ4VGDs/s1600-h/shipwreck04.jpg"><IMG border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032865230923275890" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhUQyOYnnI/AAAAAAAABRw/1iRYdQ4VGDs/s400/shipwreck04.jpg" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhURCOYnoI/AAAAAAAABR4/HJMTkA6n16U/s1600-h/shipwreck05.jpg"><IMG border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032865235218243202" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhURCOYnoI/AAAAAAAABR4/HJMTkA6n16U/s400/shipwreck05.jpg" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhS7SOYnfI/AAAAAAAABQw/-G1q0mwjJ30/s1600-h/shipwreck06.jpg"><IMG border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032863762044460530" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhS7SOYnfI/AAAAAAAABQw/-G1q0mwjJ30/s400/shipwreck06.jpg" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhS7SOYngI/AAAAAAAABQ4/37gcpwQTc0E/s1600-h/shipwreck07.jpg"><IMG border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032863762044460546" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhS7SOYngI/AAAAAAAABQ4/37gcpwQTc0E/s400/shipwreck07.jpg" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhS7iOYnhI/AAAAAAAABRA/1r98Mo1udew/s1600-h/shipwreck08.jpg"><IMG border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032863766339427858" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhS7iOYnhI/AAAAAAAABRA/1r98Mo1udew/s400/shipwreck08.jpg" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhS7iOYniI/AAAAAAAABRI/GIdCRv3Jb6Q/s1600-h/shipwreck09.jpg"><IMG border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032863766339427874" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhS7iOYniI/AAAAAAAABRI/GIdCRv3Jb6Q/s400/shipwreck09.jpg" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhS7yOYnjI/AAAAAAAABRQ/hfNZ71ir6Kw/s1600-h/shipwreck10.jpg"><IMG border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032863770634395186" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhS7yOYnjI/AAAAAAAABRQ/hfNZ71ir6Kw/s400/shipwreck10.jpg" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhRmiOYncI/AAAAAAAABQY/Y6HU6HOoDq8/s1600-h/shipwreck10.jpg"><IMG border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032862306050547138" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhRmiOYncI/AAAAAAAABQY/Y6HU6HOoDq8/s400/shipwreck10.jpg" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhRmiOYndI/AAAAAAAABQg/gYPzVmNb3DA/s1600-h/shipwreck11.jpg"><IMG border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032862306050547154" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhRmiOYndI/AAAAAAAABQg/gYPzVmNb3DA/s400/shipwreck11.jpg" /></A><BR /><A href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhRmyOYneI/AAAAAAAABQo/Kmv_5bMmE5g/s1600-h/shipwreck13.jpg"><IMG border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032862310345514466" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SA5flV_tb-E/RdhRmyOYneI/AAAAAAAABQo/Kmv_5bMmE5g/s400/shipwreck13.jpg" /></A>You can see the entire bay filled with rusting abandoned ships on <A href="http://www.wikimapia.org/#y=20912239&x=-17039194&amp;z=18&l=0&m=a">Google Maps</A></SPAN><DIV></DIV>
