In the marshes of Staten Island, NY, behind the "No Trespassing" signs, you can find the final resting place of over thirty vessels, known as the Arthur Kill ship graveyard. Initially the shipyard was meant for World War II vessels that would be acquired and stripped for parts. However, workers couldn't keep up at the rate that these boats were coming in at, and many began to sit and decay.

Once the public found out about this secret graveyard, they began to dump their own boats there as well. After that, there was no way to keep up. The marshes became what they are now, a shallow watery grave.

In an attempt to get a better look at the Arthur Kill shipyard, George Ivanoff, a professional camera operator, took his drone out to Staten Island and captured some pretty incredible views. May they all rest in peace.
