The sad end of Coast Guard Motor Cutter HDML 1300. She defended the anchorage at Weymouth, England during World War II and served as a messenger and patrol boat after the war. Then it was purchased for restoration, however, the project was never brought to life, and the winter weather of 2016–2017 only accelerated the death of the ship.
The ship Temple Hall was built in London in 1954, during its life it managed to change its name twice and owner three times. On October 31, 1981, while sailing along the route San Pedro - Cote d'Ivoire - Thessaloniki, the ship was forced to stop in the port of Arrecife (Canary Islands, Spain) due to a leak, where it remained forever.
Abandoned sailing ships Luther Little and Hesper in Wiscasset, Maine, USA.
Both vessels were purchased in 1932 by Frank Winter, who towed them to Wiscasset and left them near the unloading pier.
Luther Little served as a merchant ship from 1917 until the mid-1920s.
The Hesper's career began a little more dramatically when the launching tracks underneath it broke, but this did not stop the schooner from making several long voyages, including to Spain and Venezuela. Why the new owner bought the ships but chose not to do anything with them remains a mystery.
An abandoned fishing vessel from the booming lobster industry of the Chatham Archipelago, New Zealand. The islands are located approximately 700 km southeast of the main part of New Zealand, and they operate on their own time, which is 45 minutes ahead of New Zealand - thus, the few inhabitants of the islands (about 600 people) greet the new day 45 minutes earlier than the rest of the country.
