Ship graveyards or ship cemeteries are places where shipwrecks have accumulated. They can develop from vessels lost in areas where navigation is difficult, vessels sunk in battle, vessels intentionally sunk (e.g., the German fleet in Scapa Flow after World War I) or vessels abandonned for decay.
This category is not intended for scrapyards: Scrapyards are places where ships are scraped ("broken up" and its components re-used or sold); although scrapyards are sometimes also called "ship graveyards", please do not sort them into this category, but in the Category:Shipbreaking.
Nederlands: Categorie:Schepenkerkhoven (of scheepskerkhoven) zijn plaatsen met een concentratie van 'scheepswrakken. De oorzaak kan zijn: de plaatselijk moeilijke navigatie, in zeeslagen gezonken schepen, het opzettelijk laten zinken van schepen (zoals de Duitse vloot bij Scapa Flow (Schotland) na de Tweede Wereldoorlog) of het laten wegrotten van schepen .
Deze categorie is niet bedoeld voor plaatsen waar schepen worden gesloopt, hoewel die ook vaak schepenkerkhoven worden genoemd. Plaats die svp in de Category:Shipbreaking.
