Shipwrecks of Aden
For centuries, the port of [Aden][w] has served as Yemen’s gateway to the the world. Its distinctive double harbour lies in the crater of an extinct volcano. Over the years, a number of wrecked ships have accumulated in Aden’s harbour, many of which are visible in Google Maps imagery.

This spot / Google Earth is what gives Battleship Cove its name. Here is the website for the decommisioned ship museum.
Just so you know, that’s not the bridge for the battleships. It’s just a draw bridge that they’ll be replacing with that development you see just above it in the water.
The battleships, however, are below that right at the other bridge which can be seen easily because it goes from light to dark water.
Damn, should have read the other one first
I used to live around Fall River and I can’t tell you how many times I got stuck on the Brightman St. Bridge when it had to open to let some huge tanker get through… some days it was worth turning around and taking the Braga Bridge.
Now that was a tight fit!
