Need some sound effects to simulate an abandoned oil tanker.

Need some sound effects to simulate an abandoned oil tanker.

For comedy purposes, I am recording a monologue that I want to sound as if it is being recorded from an abandoned oil tanker on the ocean. Looking for some preferably free sound effects such as waves lapping, seagulls, giant metal structures creaking and groaning. I need things that can be downloaded from the internet, so no movies/CDs that need to be tracked down please.

Your help is much appreciated!

At Silophone you can upload or select sounds to be played inside a huge silo. I think you have to use Realplayer to listen to the result, but you might be able to make some use of it.

I like this one. And the site has many to choose from. Search "ship".
