10 STRANGE Abandoned Ships And Planes

"From mysterious ships in Russia, to junkyard military jets; these are 10 STRANGE Abandoned Ships and Planes !

HEY YOU ! There are more awesome videos being made every week, like and subscribe to World Unearthed so you don't miss a beat !

10.Test Site Plane | Russia

We kick off this list with a derelict test site found in the leningrad oblast of russia. I spent way too much time trying to figure out the exact location, and I have had no luck ! The test plane looks like an earlier model of the Sukhoi Su-24.

The plane looks extremely close to the Su-7. If I am correct, that means this test site dates back to the 60s, which was an interesting time for both the USSR and the USA.

Trying to find this spot on google maps also proved difficult, since the pictures I found had absolutely no details, just that it was an abandoned test site in the Leningrad Oblast in Russia.

For those of you wondering, Leningrad was renamed to St. Petersburg, but the “oblast” or county/area was never changed.

Well if anyone has any idea what this place was, or where it is, please share the knowledge in the comments below!

9.MV Sygna | Australia

8.Bristol Freighter | New Zealand

7.Landévennec | France

6.Douglas C47b Dakota | Croatia

5.Edro III | Cyprus

The Edro III is another norwegian cargo ship that had an unfortunate history. The ship ran aground near Pegeia, Cyprus. As always, rough seas and bad weather were blamed for the wreck, there was no salvage operations attempted, but the ship was emptied of all cargo, fuel, oil and anything that will negatively impact the local environment.

Articles state that it is now forbidden to visit the ship because its deemed too dangerous, which means at some point, people were allowed to explore it, which must have been a pretty cool experience.

As if one shipwreck wasn’t enough, you can also find the remains of the MV Demetrios II nearby. That one seems to not have fared as well as Edro III.

4.BKK Airplane Graveyard | Thailand

I am not sure this is an official or regulated airplane graveyard. The first time I heard about this place, the visitors said that there were multiple families living inside these abandoned hulls.

And it just seems, so random? Tall grass, no security, no fencing, its almost as if someone decided it would be a good place to dump an airplane, and other companies followed suite.

3.US Navy Reserve Fleets | USA

Found from the sunny coasts of California, to the murky rivers of Virginia, these fleet reserves are strange sight to experience. The ships are seemingly stationed in their own parking lots, just missing the white painted lines.

The James River Reserve fleet used to have 60 ships, nowadays, it's dwindled down to only 6 ships. All the other ones have been scrapped.

The suisun bay reserve fleet, located in the Greater San Francisco Bay, has a few more ships, and looks cool from the air.

There are more fleets that vary in size, and for the most part, these fleets are just temporary parking for ships before they are ultimately scrapped.

2.unknown | New Jersey

Well its not really unknown anymore, but when I first started writing about this place, I had no idea where, or what it was. Then I contacted the photographer and she shared some more information with me.

Finally, I figured it all out, these pictures were taken at Wade’s salvage in New Jersey, I think. I'm not sure. The photographer said it was small place south of Philly, this place fits the bill !

What I am not so sure of is why there is a scrapped US Air Force plane in some random salvage yard

1.Kamchatka Ship Graveyard | Russia

Should I have just made a list of airplane and ship graveyards? Maybe !
In the barren lands of the Kamchatka Peninsula, near the city of Petropavlovsk, you can find yourself surrounded by snow and abandoned ships !

I believe there are multiple locations in the area that have abandoned ships, you can see some ships in this aerial photo that look like they are in a pretty bad shape. This photo has been circulating blogs since 2008. Many people called it fake, many people wanted to know some more, but even now, almost ten years later, this set of photos is the only one from the region.

The 2 fellas in the photo look so calm standing net to the massive rusting ship, if you had the chance to explore around the icy waters, would you? I think these are some abandoned ships I would not want to go near.

Google Streetview provides a rare glimpse into the area, it sure looks a lot different when the bay is not frozen over !"
