Those massive cargo vessels, having descended to the ocean floor, are corroded and weakened by the saltwater, with their decks, railings, and bridges rusted and brittle, sometimes breaking apart into several pieces.

With such an indescribable, colossal object lying nearby, would one eventually grow used to its presence? She wondered how long it took for the fish swimming around to come to terms with such a reality.
