SHIP GRAVEYARD | KUWAIT | DJI MAVIC PRO 2 | AERIAL VIEW

When the sea tides farewell the shore near Doha, a secret is revealed. Tens of scuttled and abandoned ships, covered by the tide, lay stranded on the sandy seabed floor, exposed to the sun and the surrounding landscape.

The ships are mostly rusted, covered in barnacles and stuck in the sticky sand, slanted to one side. As I delved more into the shore, I reached two ships resting against each other, one of them all rusty and covered by small corals. But the other was ‘alive’ or rather in working condition and simply stranded by the outgoing tide. Little did I know that it was also inhabited and after approaching and noticing hanging washing on a line, a man emerged and invited us aboard.
