Ship Graveyard, Homebush Bay, Australia

In Homebush Bay, New South Wales, a collection of derelict ships has been left to rest among mangroves after a nearby ship-breaking yard closed around four decades ago. Many of these vessels served in World War II, carrying supplies across the Pacific. Now their rusting hulls, often partially submerged and colonized by plants and birds, create an atmospheric scene that draws photographers and history-minded visitors.
