The ships were slow and much too inefficient for peace time work and many were purposefully sunk to form breakwaters and reefs after the wars.  This world war I era derelict is still in place south of Santa Cruz at Seacliff beach in Aptos.

Thanks for illuminating us regarding Graphene and for the trip down memory lane regarding the cement boat.  As a kid growing up in Aptos/Santa Cruz, I caught my first fish off that boat with my father!  He told me that when it was first docked/sunk at that location it was turned into a night club with some concerts and dances that hosted some jazz greats over the years.  I'm fairly certain that was before Santa Cruz had true harbor.
