You can see the ferry pretty well, but the others are almost impossible to sight from shore. The pics linked to in the post by the kayakers were possible only because... well, they kayaked. :) I did take a look at this place.

Kind of like when the Long Beach had a Gallery, made entirely out of recycled shipping containers.

I'd never heard of this place - if I get a chance, I'd like to head to Mallows this coming weekend. Wonder if you can see anything from land.. mm… nutrients.

I hope to have a post ready soon! @Capital Chay - these are all wooden boats ... I would imagine that being immersed in water for decades makes the wood pretty spongy and full of nutrients. When seeds land on such an environment they could grow quite well. @dr.R. – I’m working on it! I hope to have a post ready soon!

I know there are still some ship wrecks to be seen in Northern Russia: http://googlesightseeing.com/maps?p=&c=&t=h&hl=en&ll=69.223254,33.346295&z=16 But not as many as here, it seems. Would that not make Mallows Bay the largest in the world? Don’t keep us waiting… What is the largest ship graveyard in the Eastern Hemisphere?
