Anchor Graveyard Tavira Island, Portugal

Anchor Graveyard (Portugal) - Among the dunes of Tavira island, in Portugal, there’s an impressive called the Cemitério das Âncoras (The Anchor Graveyard). It was built in remembrence of the glorious tradition of tuna fishing with large nets ("armações de atum") fixed with these anchors, a fishing technique already invented by the Phoenicians. Tavira used to be a place devoted to the tuna fishing. They built up this anchor graveyard to remember those who had to quit their occupation when the big fish abandoned the coasts.

Re: Anchor Graveyard Tavira Island, Portugal

this looks more like a defence type setup as like the ones used in the 2nd world war. To stop beach landings or some one gone beach make over board
