Abandoned ships are vessels that have been left behind, often due to financial difficulties, accidents, or changing regulations. These ships can be found in various locations, such as harbors, beaches, or even in the open sea. They may pose environmental hazards, as they can leak fuel or other pollutants into the water. Many abandoned ships become popular tourist attractions or subjects for exploration. Some are repurposed as artificial reefs, providing habitats for marine life. Others, like the Titanic, serve as historical reminders of maritime history and the importance of safety at sea.
