Anchors and a Kite!
A kite flies over The (Tavira) Algarve Portugal, Anchor Graveyard on Barril beach is a truly unique memorial, and the memory of an era that no longer exists: the Portuguese tuna boats that sailed the oceans for centuries and, due to the lack of resources, have been abandoning this activity. The time when the inhabitants of the island went fishing thousands of kilometres away from their homes has passed. These anchors were used to keep the fishing nets in place and formed giant underwater mazes that funneled the tuna into the capture nets.
