Two mysterious ghost ships have washed up on a beach two months apart and tourists have taken the opportunity to climb on them to do a bit of exploring.

The first vessel called ‘Guerrero’ washed up on Ventanilla Beach in Peru, in October, after drifting at sea when its anchor broke off.

Now a second named boat ‘Quan Tum’ has eerily washed up on the same beach after it was sent out to rescue the first ship but suffered a technical problem.

Since the first ship washed up two months ago it has become quite the tourist hotspot, with people clambering up onto the rusting vessel.

But they have been warned to stay off the boats because of concerns about public safety.

The second ship has over 600 gallons of fuel onboard and there are environmental concerns about a possible spill.

An official complaint has been filed to the Specialised Prosecutor’s Office in Environmental Matters by the head of the Port of Callao.

A port spokesperson said: ‘The solution would be to remove them, which could be done by sea or by land, but both would be very expensive.’
