It was a hot sunny day and a lost family was sauntering along a beach. "Its a ship!" one of them cried "Oh no, it's a shipwreck you ningus." said the brother. "We must explore it" said the father. So that was basically how my Thursday went minus being marooned on a beach. We had been going for a drive in search for a beach for the day and we turned a corner and saw a huge rusty cargo ship beached, literally. It was rammed up on the beach in only a foot of water with an old rusted out semi intact hull. When I was standing beside it on the beach it was a lot bigger from the road. It was maybe 15 meters high and 50 meters long, with big holes in the site from rust and weather. My dad and brother decided to go explore it at the cost of getting their shoes wet. So I had to think of something to while their inner swashbuckler came out.
While my dad and brother where exploring the ship, Bella fell in an indentation in the sand so that sparked the idea for me to bury her. I completely buried her with only her head showing so it looked like there was a lonely head in the sand. She lasted about 15 minutes without moving and in that time my brother and dad had come back from their expedition. They said that most of the inside of the ship had been gutted and that someone was living in the front or at least was, at one time. When I walked down the beach I discovered that there was an abundance of small logs so my dad and I propped them up in the sand. Then I found another and another. By the end I had sand everywhere and 6 logs propped up like woodhenge. By then the sun was going down so we packed up and headed back. 
Later we discovered that the ship was rumored to have been a cigarette smuggling ship in between Turkey and Italy, but was commandeered by the Gythios port authority and then purposefully released it from the port and let the ocean take it while being set on fire. Then it was dragged by the sea to where is it today. Now today it is a tourist attraction and a mystery to all.
