The ship cemetery is where the ships find their last refuge. Previously, wooden ships were simply sunk into the sea. Today the situation has changed: metal ships must be disposed of. In developed countries, ships are disposed of in special factories, in countries with a low standard of living they are simply thrown ashore, where they rust.

Cemeteries created by nature itself
Throughout the history of mankind, the sea has absorbed many ships. These ships lie at the bottom of the seas and oceans, preserved in salt water for future generations of archaeologists. In particularly dangerous places ships lie literally in layers: over ancient triremes you can find Viking rooks, over medieval ships - frigates, over frigates - steel hulls of modern military and merchant ships.
One of the iconic places of the Atlantic is the Goodwin Creek, located off the southeastern coast of Britain. These underwater sand banks are described in many literary works. The account of human sacrifices made by the sea by the shallows of Goodwin amounts to tens of thousands. Ships could not get around the shallows due to the fact that the sands were constantly moving, as well as due to fog and strong currents.
