This image was taken during a boat tour of the Concrete Fleet, aka Kiptopeke’s Breakwater. These concrete ships were made in 1942 during a WWII steel shortage. Two dozen concrete ships were built and served throughout WWII, with two seeing combat. The nine ships that make up the breakwater at Kiptopeke all served as transport and training vessels in the South Pacific. The breakwater at Kiptopeke protects the beach and pier now owned by Kiptopeke State Park.
