Rusty Ship From 1911, That Even Served In WWII, Was Overtaken By Nature, Becoming A Floating Forest

While the SS Ayrfield was once a proud steam cargo ship, even used in World War II, its decaying shipwreck now stands as the famous Floating Forest of Homebush Bay. In the right conditions and under certain circumstances, ordinary things can transform into unique creations that leave people speechless. The power of nature, when left alone to do its thing, is awe-inspiring.

The rusted wreck overtaken by the elements, has now become part of the Homebush seascape. It is a popular destination for tourists, but it's also a favorite among photographers – even a Shipwreck Lookout was established. Most importantly, though, the 111-year-old Ayrfield stands as a small piece of history, one that will hopefully continue to amaze people for a long time.
