Khian Sea Research Paper

Everyday we throw out the trash we never really stop to contemplate where it all ends up like a landfill, a ship, or even the bottom of the ocean. On September 5th 1986, the Khian Sea was well on it’s way for becoming the World’s Most Unwanted Garbage. The ship had so many toxins, infestations, and many other unpleasants contents that no one would accept it. It must be horrifying and nauseating to even catch a glimpse of what was on the ship also to know they dumped it somewhere not worrying about the consequences is truly despicable.
Large metal poles would stand stories high hanging wires from pole to pole and back down to the ship. The poles stood in a post lintel structure with two main bars holding a top bar up. Down on the wasted ship floor was where the cargo was held for up to two years waiting to be disposed of
These toxins can be an extreme hazard for those that are aboard the ship. Furthermore, it is stated that the contents on the ship disappeared at one point and it must’ve been dumped into the ocean( New york times). By doing this they create dangers for the animals in the water and they could die due to this. The boat was vastly massive and and to carry so much ash with toxins is intensely harming to the environment and people.
In consummation, the Khian sea ship was not successful in trying to dispose of the contents. Not only did they not succeed but they created many dangerous situations for not only the people but also the animals that surround the ship. It is not understandable why anyone would work on this ship because the stench, the toxins, and the rodents is horrific. Many people wouldn’t even sign up to work their just by the sight of the ship and the eeriness of it all. Concluding that the Khian Sea ship will go down in historical time as the World’s Most Unwanted
