Abandoned ship SS Ayrfield - floating mangrove forest
Categories: World
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/abandoned-ship-ss-ayrfield-floating-mangrove-forest.htmlLife is cyclical - the death of one becomes the birth of something else. So it was with the British steamship SS Ayrfield, which has stood for miles off the coast of the Olympic Village in Sydney for many years. Its rusty hull has turned into real mangroves. Because of this, he became recognizable all over the world, and photographers enjoy unusual shots that can be taken right from the shore in front of the ship.

1. SS Ayrfield is an ordinary steam-powered coal-burner 80 meters long.
2. The ship was built in Great Britain in 1911 and in 1912 was sent to Sydney.
3. The ship was used to transport military supplies by the US Army during World War II.
4. At the moment it is not known what exactly happened to the ship, most likely it was simply abandoned as an old unnecessary ship.
5. The second name of the ship is “The Floating Forest” (Floating Forest). As it turned out, rusty steel does an excellent job of protecting foliage.
6. The "floating forest" is especially beautiful at sunset. Photographers from all over the world come to Sydney to capture a unique testament to how nature transforms everything man has created.
