A couple of years ago I was on a tour around the Atacama Desert in Chile, and we were taken to an abandoned marshalling yard in a small town. These trains are German and apparently were parked when the gold ran out at the atart of the 20th century and haven't moved since- their remarkable preservation is because it hasn't rained there ever!

You won't need a rowing boat - I can see that fort from my front room! If you want a closer look get the car ferry from Portsmouth to Fishbourne on the Isle of Wight, it sails right past it! There's a few of them round the IOW all not very far offshore. A couple of times a year at low spring tides the locals walk out and touch the one just outside the entrance to Bembridge Harbour. If you time it right you can get all the way, touch the wall and walk back without the water coming above your waist!

Looks fine on my screen and phone. I couldn't move too far back as it's surrounded by houses and bits of the railway still in use.
