#2These are probably taken at the Alang (India) and Chittagong (Bangladesh) Ship Breaking Yards, where they run the ships aground at high tide. Both visible on Google Maps satelite view:

Probably a dumb question but what do they do on the next high tide? Wouldn't it interfere with their work?

#7If anyone is interested in a game themed shipbreaking/dismantling things, check out Hardspace: Shipbreaker. Instead of oceanic ships one gets to take apart spaceships and sort the salvages like garbage-recycle-compost.

They just take a break from the work? The hull of the ship that came in on the last high tide is now broken, it's not going to float away.

That is wild. Could not believe how many people were wearing sandals or completely barefoot.

#10Shipbreaking is an absurdly dangerous job, and the "Brothers" sequence in Workingman's Death covers this.
