I don't know where those chicks are, but there's a ship graveyard in Mauritania, I think, if I remember correctly, where aging ships were just abandoned.

Also, there wouldn't be the same surf in front of the shipwreck...

Thats no fake folks, at not the least not the first picture .
Its the wreck of the "American Star" on the west coast of Fuerteventura.
Nice to see the wreck is still in fair condition, wouldnt have thought so.
To judge from position, angle and lighting the two babes were photographed on spot.
Google it & find out more.

Cheers Wiz

edit : Photo must have been taken late 90s, the wreck has almost completely fallen apart by now

yeah! What shipwreck?

Its in the Canaries of the coast of Fuertaventura I know coz i was there in june and october of 2007 and swam near this wreck but it is less of a ship than is in the pic now.

i call bullshit here not the same ship

It is .... if you click the link above you will see that in the past 18months it has gone from looking like the original pic of this post to nearly submerged. and the ship had several names too so can be searched under.....

Fuerteventura, a Spanish island, is one of the Canary Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. It is situated at 28°20' north, 14°00' west. At 1,660 km² it is also the second largest of the islands.

thanks for everyones help, that is surely the american star. It also appeaps that another ship has been beached behind it or is passing very close to it, cant really tell, but cargo boxes are still on the deck. you guys pointed me in the right direction and I will find out all the details soon enough. thanks again

just realized the 2nd ship is only in the pic creepus posted. the first one looks much better, being able to see the ocean through the rustout's in the bottom of the ship. looks like i need to get there soon, before its completely gone.

There are a lot of shipwrecks. Old ships in the eastern hemisphere just get beached then people salvage what they can from them. There is a store here in West Palm Beach called "Culpeppar Shipping", the owner and his son take trips to bring various ship parts to sell. It's quite cool.
