Alang, India

This is a graphic representation of the world's largest ship graveyard. If you go to Google Maps and type in Alang, India, you will see well over 100 vessels dotting the coastline. The world's longest ship, the Seawise Giant, is one of those abandoned here. It waits with the rest to be broken down for scrap metal.
