Whilst this is not the first time that this topic has been brought to attention, may be of some interest. Probably the most notable of these graveyard's or cemetery's is Nouadhibou bay in Mauritania. Around 300 ships lay at rest here in after officials accepted bribes to allow the ships to be dumped.
One place on earth with great notoriety for ship breaking, actually taking the ships apart rather than leaving them as waste, is Gadani beach in Alang Pakistan. This video contains Mad Max 2 esq style choices and a ship being beached
