Ships of the sand: The rusting hulks have sat in the desert since the 1960s, when the Russians began diverting the water for irrigation
As the sea dried up, the fishermen moved away in the space of just a few years - leaving their boats as relics of the industry

The ships now serve no purpose - other than offering shade to the other 'ships of the desert' - the camel

As the water was drained, the salinity of the sea increased, and the fish died, killing the industry
Ashes to ashes, rust to rust: perhaps these boats in a line signal where a pier used to lie. either way, the answer is lost to the sands
