I remember as a kid seeing the ghost fleet of Liberty Ships in the Hudson River near NYC. They gradually disappeared, with the last of them sold off in the early 70s. You could even buy parts like hatch covers from the ships in antique stores for a while until the supply dried up. It didn't mean much to me but certainly did for my parents' generation.
