Back in September of 2019, the car transport freighter the Golden Ray ran into trouble shortly after departing Brunswick, GA and capsized in St. Simons Sound. It was declared a total loss along with it's cargo of over 4,200 vehicles. More than two years later the salvage operation continues, with a gigantic chainsaw-like device cutting the ship into pieces while a huge crane continues to transfer the mangled automobile carcasses to a barge.

Nasty.
I suppose that half of those submerged vehicles will end up in some auto auction place and end up in used car lots after they go through some remediation program.
That's a LOT of cars. Must have been a big ship.
