Collection Details
Ship graveyard | View on Foundation
Huge cargo ships are grounded on shore in Chittagong, Bangladesh. They're navigated into the mud until they are stuck, and dismantled till the last bolt by thousands of workers. An image that remains with me is that of children working tirelessly while the owners of the shipyard are idly standing by, laughing and joking in the background.
