At the Breakers...

 There's a piece at CNN with some cool aerial photos of cruise ships at the breakers in Turkey...
"Once a cruise ship arrives at Aliaga, the vessel is torn apart. Everything inside must be removed, from the furniture to the bathrooms. Interior items may end up sold locally to business owners or collectors. 

"To see such large objects on a beach being demolished in an otherwise natural setting is both fascinating and heartbreaking," said freelance cruise journalist Peter Knego, who has visited ship breaking yards across the world, in order to photograph the process and collect furniture and interior pieces for his home."

Adjacent to the beached liners is a container ship, also being reduced to scrap and salvage. It's not just pleasure cruises that have seen a drop-off in the Time of the 'Rona.
