Concrete Ships at Kiptopeke Beach
Quote from a web page about the Concrete Ships: "In December 1948, nine McCloskey ships (made out of concrete) were partially sunk to form a ferry breakwater off the coast of Kiptopeke Beach, Virginia.
After the construction of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel, the ferry was put out of business; however, the breakwater still protects the beach and provides a home for coastal fish and birds."
We anchored our sailboat behind the breakwater, and from the boat took this shot.
