Down in the gulf coast around Galveston (within 50 miles along the coast) you’ll find a good deal of these, especially after a bad storm/hurricane. It’s more terrifying when a boat that clearly isn’t fit to sail has been seen docking at multiple locations and nobody at the helm. We had a sailboat slowly filling with water that repeatedly docked along a decimated bridge and a small boardwalk not meant for docking high above the water. The sails were tattered, boat heavily damaged, the mast was in pieces, electronics ripped from the console, innards were an absolute wreck. And yet every morning it was tied up somewhere new until one day it was just gone. My boyfriend and I watched it for hours and nobody ever entered or exited it, we even fished next to it and nothing ever happened apart from some odd knocking inside the boat that reminded me of a trapped animal. Stranger things have happened I suppose

Heh, familiar with the area.
Plus Santa Cruz has been in the news lately. Pier by the boardwalk got damaged & well, the front fell off.

While not this particular ship, the Wreck of the Peter Iredale on the north end of the Oregon coast is a pretty cool stop in that area.
