This is where ships end their lives, as they slowly crawl ashore and disintegrate.

Committed to the Sea

"I really don't know why it is that all of us are
so committed to the sea, except I think it's because
in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and
the light changes, and ships change, it's because
we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting
biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have
salt in our blood, our sweat, and in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came." --Pres. John F. Kennedy
