Tavira Portugal. Anchor Graveyard from former tuna fishing at Praia do Barril beach, Tavira, Algarve, Portugal.

---

These fishing anchors line the dunes of the Praia do Barril and are a symbolic memorial to the decline of the tuna and the abandonment of this way of life. The rusting anchors of the Cemitério das Àncoras were placed in the sands during the 1960s when the livelihood became unsustainable.
