==Geography/Description== The Boat Graveyard was located North of [[Lord Street Market|the Market]].<ref>It wasn't a short trip. Our destination was north of the market, and the market was a distance from my house. We were making our way from downtown to the Boat Graveyard. - [[Prey 14.11]]</ref> It was at the North end of Brockton Bay, about a forty minute walk from the [[Downtown]] portal.<ref name=":2">The cottage was one of the outposts that Tattletale's crews had put together. North end of town, overlooking the spot that would have been the boat graveyard, a forty minute walk from the Brockton Bay settlement. - [[Cockroaches 28.6]]</ref> There was a hill overlooking it.<ref name=":1"/><ref name=":2"/> The Boat Graveyard was originally an entire section of the coastline where boats had sat for so long that they'd rusted or taken on water.<ref>Opinions varied on whether the incident had been a symptom or a cause of the collapse. Either way, the result was the Boat Graveyard- an entire section of the coastline where boats had sat for so long that they'd rusted or taken on water. - [[Prey 14.11]]</ref> One was a container ship sunken as a form of protest; the rest were simply abandoned.<ref name=":0">When the local industry had collapsed, the Boat Graveyard had been something of a staging ground for the irate dock workers. Shipping companies based in Brockton Bay saw the signs of what was coming and trapped other boats in the harbor as a form of protest, to ensure they weren't walking away empty-handed. Police had made arrests, but actually moving the ships out of the way required sailors, and the move had mobilized enough of them that clearing the upper areas of the docks of the ships became all but impossible. Things capped off with fights, gunfire and a deliberate sinking of a container ship by one of the protesters. - [[Prey 14.11]]</ref> There were about forty or fifty ships, many larger than skyscrapers.<ref name=":1">We paused at the top of a hill overlooking the scene: forty or fifty derelict ships, some bigger in sheer mass than the skyscrapers downtown. Leviathan's waves had slammed them all into the coastline, smashing them against one another and turning more than a few into something unrecognizable. - [[Prey 14.11]]</ref> Following the Battle against Leviathan, the ships were slammed into the coastline, damaging many of them.<ref name=":1"/> Rusted metal was spread across the entire area, making it difficult and dangerous to traverse on foot.<ref>I was getting a sense of why there wasn't any foot traffic here. Even on land, the force of Leviathan's tidal wave had sent age-worn sheets of metal flying over the landscape. Ragged edges of rusty sheet metal waited under every step I took, scraping and stabbing against the soles of my costumed feet. - [[Prey 14.11]]</ref>
