I remember a couple of years ago that somebody posted a link to abandoned military platforms/rigs in the middle of the ocean. It was like being in a middle of that Kevin Costner flop of a movie Waterworld.....and I'm not certain which ocean or off of what continent.

I tried using the seach button, but with vague descriptions pops up many many links.

Anybody willing to type in links about abandoned rigs/platforms or direct me to what I'm describing?

I think those pictures of abandoned military ocean going platforms was posted in the Lounge forum initially.

I believe there were others like this in the Thames estuary or nearby?

Yep, that's it. Thanks a lot Craig, all though thank you squidmonk3j for your reply too. That gives me more venues to look at.

Thames estuary has a haunting design to it.
