The Staten Island Boat Graveyard is an interesting place for history lovers and photographers who enjoy taking cool pictures for social media. You can see old boats that are rusting in the water, but remember to stay far away. The boat graveyard is in Arthur Kill, near where the Fresh Kills Landfill used to be on the western side of the island. The Witte Marine Equipment Company began to dismantle old ships in this location after World War II. Do you have any boat graveyards near you?
