Mallows Bay Park in Maryland’s Potomac River is known for its “ghost fleet” of rusting shipwrecks—dark silhouettes rising from shallow water. Best light comes at sunrise/sunset when low angles skim the metal and haze. Expect marshy shore conditions; bring water shoes and check tides (low tide reveals more hulls). Free entry with small parking off Wilson Landing Rd.
