Oh yes, I too like abandoned places and things. Here are some I've come across.
This is from today actually. The wreck is visible from the highway, but I got a different view from my kayak today.

I recognized that boat right away from when we were on our way to Niagara Falls to get married back in '06. The La Grande Hermine just outside of St. Cathrines, Ontario. I guess it was a restraunt ship but failed.
