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.
Lesotho is one of the most unique countries on the planet. It’s the southernmost landlocked country, the largest country that’s entirely surrounded by another country, and the highest country on Earth. Yet, it doesn’t really show up on too many people’s radar. With the arrival of Google Street View imagery this month to Lesotho, it’s time to shed some light on the world’s largest enclave.

Re the boats: That must be this one:
(from http://www.sdwaterfront.com/knowledge.shtml)
The platform to the west of the boats appears to be the National City Marine Terminal, “a primary port of entry for Honda, Acura, Volkswagen, Isuzu, Mitsubishi Fuso, and Hino Motors vehicles.” (from here)
Also tucked in amidst all that industrial area is Bayside Park, in the center of the channel to the south.
And east of the vehicle storage just on the other side of the train tracks are three rusted circles; these are the remains of three SD Port Authority fuel tanks that were demolished, sparking some local controversy.
