Dangerous Ghost Ship

Ghost ships are terrifying for a variety of reasons. Ships that have been completely abandoned by their crews with no explanation strike fear into the hearts of sailors everywhere, but it’s even worse when a force of nature interferes with the route of a ghost ship. A tsunami sent this ghost ship off into the sea from the coast of Japan in 2011, and it caused major issues. The ship was considered a threat to maritime traffic and a potential threat to the environment, so the United States Coast Guard decided to sink the ship. This photo captured the plume of smoke as the ship sank to the briny depths of the sea.
