Our
reader shares a photo of a cargo ship listing on its side, ready for ship
breakers in Anjuna.
“I
had heard about the ship breakers at Anjuna. But it seems Greenpeace had done a
story about the unsafe working conditions and so tourists were not allowed to
get closer than the gate. I found a kid with a motorcycle and gave him money to
borrow it. With my girlfriend on the back, we made our way to the beach. There
it was — this cargo ship listing on its side, waiting for work crews to descend
on it like fire ants and strip it bare.”
