The Wreck of the SS Ayrfield
The decommissioned ship SS Ayrfield is an Australian steam ship that was retired in 1972. After serving for 60 years, the ship was sent to a ship-breaking yard called Homebush Bay where it was supposed to be taken apart and recycled for parts. Apparently, the engineers couldn’t bear to take it apart entirely, so they floated the hull in the harbor after planting it with mangrove trees.
