Sunken Liberty Ships

USA / Virginia / Cape Charles /
 navy, shipwreck, interesting place
Several old liberty ships were filled with concrete and sunk to create a breakwater for the ferry terminus. No longer in use as such since the Bay Bridge Tunnel was complete. Now just provides an interesting backdrop for the public beach.
