Mazirbe Boat Cemetery, Latvia – In 10 Years Time It Will Be All Gone

Boats overgrown with plants lie abandoned within these woods. In the summer, when the grass grows tallest, they’re difficult to spot. This is the Mazirbe Boat Cemetery in Latvia.

When the ban on individual fishing was introduced to the border regime zone, the boats that weren’t used for building smokehouses, were abandoned in the woods along the coast of Latvia between 1950 and 1970.

Nowadays, this graveyard is the only one of its kind in the area, and its time here appears to be running short. As nature continues reclaiming the site, the wooded graveyard is expected to be lost in about 10 years.
