A made-up term, "zombie boats," is used by people to refer to boats that mysteriously resurface in a harbor or nearby waterway after having been sunken or abandoned in the past. In essence, these are dead boats that have started to float or have been propelled out of the water in various means. The phrase "zombie boats" is sometimes used to refer to vessels that have been abandoned and are currently being utilized for activities such as partying, squatting, or other activities for which they were not designed. These zombie boats are often extremely unattractive and decomposing quite badly. These zombie boats pose a threat to all the nearby operating vessels as well because they may easily move with the tide or the waves, which could force them to collide with other vessels and inflict damage.
