It's ships was building during WWII as cargo ships in USA. As normal cargo ships. Not wrecks.

Text in russian:
"В США во время ВМВ строились бетонные МОРСКИЕ суда длиною до 128 м, D в полном грузу 13000 тонн (и сухогруз и танкер) скорость хода до 10,5 уз, по существу Т-3 в бетоне, применялся также и керамзитобетон.
для эксплуатации в Мексиканском заливе были построены самоходные суда, в/м=10950, дейдвейт 5560 тонн, ход до 10 уз, построено после строгих испытаний еще 103 судна. "
In english (sorry with my english):
"In USA during WWII buildings concrete Sea ships lenght until 128 meters, D in full loading 13000 tons (and cargo ship and tanker) speed 10,5 knots, in other words T-3 in concrete.
For Mexican Gulf was building selfspeed ships measurement 10950 tons, deadweight 5560 tons, speed 10 knots, building ... 103 ships."

I wasn't trying to insult your idea denis. I'm still shocked over the fact that cement can float. You should make a poll and see what the masses want? You might be on to something cool.

I've heard of them too.
It always amazes me that they could float.

I've also seen a 50' sailboat made of concrete.

Wonder if you could make a submarine .
At the least, it could dive fast. :p
