Description:

The concrete ship turned on its port side was built in 1918 and used to transport American troops back home from Europe. Before its deterioration the exposed surface side was painted with an ad for boat insurance. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made to extract the ship, but it will now remain until the sea completely claims it. Currently, the stern is the only visible section above the waterline.
