| Summary, etc. |
"Behind barbed-wire fences and squintingly small entrance signs, the shipbreaking yards sit almost anonymously on the banks of the Brownsville Ship Channel, three miles from the Mexico border. Workers park their beat-up cars nearby in rutted lots. They cross paths every day with asbestos, lead, PCBs and other toxics lurking in the old ships they dismantle, earning about $7 an hour. Yet there is never a shortage of applicants." (VIRGINIAN-PILOT) This article provides an overview of the shipbreaking industry in the United States by profiling the shipbreaking yards in Brownsville, Texas where "junk ships from the James River Reserve Fleet, nicknamed the Ghost Fleet" are being dismantled and illustrates "the dilemma the U.S. government faces in deciding how to responsibly remove its unneeded military and civilian fleets." |
