The Hulks information


A 2004 view of the city of Powell River with its breakwater ships visible.

The Hulks or The Giant Hulks, more formally known as the Powell River Floating Breakwater, is a floating breakwater off the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, a Pacific coast province of Canada. The breakwater is a prominent landmark of the city of Powell River and may be the largest floating breakwater in the world.

The breakwater consists of floating concrete ships from the World War II era and one, the SS Peralta, from World War I era. Steel was in short supply during wartime leading to ship-makers to resort to alternatives such a concrete. These heavy, awkwardly maneuverable ships were called "hulks".

It was originally constructed by the Powell River Company, a pulp and paper mill, and the ships help form their log pond.
