Ghosted Ghost Island in Japan

In Japan, near Nagasaki, there is the abandoned Ghasim Ghost Island, which in the 1930s was considered a major industrial part of the country, and in parallel with that and the most densely populated island in the world. In 1810 large deposits of coal were found here, because of which the particularly rapid development of Hasima began. However, by 1974, all 5,259 people of the locals had left the island, making it a floating ghost full of destructive buildings. Initially, Hasim looked like a huge rock, but after the extraction of fossils, it took on a completely different outline.

If you look at the island from above, you can see that it looks like a military ship, for which it got its name - Gunkanjima, or "cruiser", if translated from Japanese. For half a century, the ghost island was a closed object, but now the entrance was opened for all comers. In the future, the Japanese authorities plan to turn Hasim into a museum of culture and life of miners.
