On that note (and along with the ship graveyards), here's Mallows Bay, MD. 152 wooden steamships were abandoned here at the end of WWI, and as you can see, some of them on the northeast shore appear to have become artificial islands with vegetation growing from them.

We kayaked out there over the summer. The large ship further out is the car carrier Accomac, and you can actually paddle your boat into the interior of it. The site is awesome, but I have to stress that it is crazy dangerous. Those old ships were put together with huge thick spear-like nails. Now they're all rusting just below the surface of the water. Visibility was bad, but every now and then you could catch a glimpse of a row of spikes as you passed over.

I wasn't expecting that at all. The whole time I was very worried about accidentally capsizing and getting impaled.
