Abandoned ships keep great secrets. If you look at one of them, it will seem that the old ruin is about to collapse. However, the great structure of man, even in an unsuitable state, was able to merge with nature and hold out for more than 100 years, withstanding the most severe conditions. What do amazing structures hide? Why do abandoned ships attract millions of tourists around the world? In which films can you find the old ruins of empty liners and barges? This article will answer all your questions for sure.
Why are abandoned ship movies so popular?
It's all a secret, mysticism and mystery. How many stories and stories go around such ships. There you can meet a ghost with a severed head, as well as treasures that are stored in the holds, and cards with secret treasures. Adventurers would surely give up everything they have in order to explore one of the sunken barges.
At the UN, it was estimated that the number of abandoned ships in the world is more than 3,000,000. Moreover, small ships, liners, and trading barges are among the abandoned. For example, the liner "Maheno", which nailed a storm to the shore of Fraser Island (Australia). This is a huge vessel, surprising in its size, and after 80 years continues to be washed by ocean waters.
Local residents say that staying next to such an abandoned airliner is extremely dangerous, because moans and inhuman screams are constantly heard. Maybe it's just the old metal that makes such sounds, or maybe it's the ghosts that have lived in the walls of the ship since the First World War.
Spacecraft lovers dedicated ...
In 2012, the film Prometheus was released, which, as the directors say, is a prequel to the famous alien space alien saga. Here you can see a huge spaceship, which in its structure resembles a huge boomerang or a bun roll. Alien transport is equipped with technologies that project the memories of the pilots. And the scale of the ship itself is inspiring. It is possible that there you can accommodate a small city, as well as make food supplies for each resident.
Other films about abandoned spaceships:
- “Alien. New Testament". The second part of Prometheus, which was released in 2017. Despite the fact that a completely different planet is described here, however, there is a direct reference to the first prequel. At the same time in the picture you can see all the same spaceships that are able to surprise the viewer with their scale.
- "Black hole". Classics of a fantastic movie. It was released in 2000. The main essence of the picture is moving through outer space. In this part of the cult story about Riddick, we will see old abandoned ships inhabited by real bloodthirsty aliens.
Films about empty ships on Earth
There are a number of films about abandoned ships, but not space ones at all. For example, in the popular television series Lost (LOST), an abandoned wooden vessel is repeatedly used, where the viewer can watch chains chained to slaves, ghosts of the past and explosive raw dynamite stocks.
For those who like to tickle their nerves, we recommend watching the “Ghost Ship” (2003). This is a mystical picture where a group of young seekers stumbled upon a lost ship, wandering in the open ocean. As they were on the ship, people began to notice oddities that ultimately led to irreversible consequences. Perhaps the “Ghost Ship” is one of the most scary and bewitching films.
Abandoned ships now
And what is known about the crash of recent years? After all, it is one thing to watch a film about abandoned ships, and another to find such a ship on our planet.
Top 3 airliners and other dead ships:
- "Mediterranean sky." Cruise ship, which was ready to accommodate more than 1000 people. This ship did not come across a reef or an iceberg, such as the Titanic, but was only arrested. After a while, he began to sink and soon plunged 50% into the water off the coast of Greece.
- La Famille Express. A warship that ran aground after the largest hurricane in 2004. Perhaps this ship would still go to the open sea, but now it is a tourist attraction for adventurers.
- "Dimitrios." A cargo ship that moved between Italy and Turkey. It was thrown aground due to a severe storm. But there is an opinion that the ship was in a catastrophe specially to get rid of evidence. Indeed, in the 90s there was an active illegal trade in tobacco.
