SS Kaffir, off the coast of Ayrshire, Scotland
The SS Kaffir was wrecked on September 23, 1974.
Apparently, the engineer of the ship was supposed to be meeting the rest of the crew in a pub in Ayr, but went to the wrong pub.
Having had a few drinks, he decided, for reasons probably best only known to himself to set off in the ship anyway.
Apparently, having panicked and decided to turn back, and without a navigator, he ran aground on rocks.
He was rescued and arrested.
This hasn't turned out my favourite one from this location. As I was going, the rainbow developed and I couldn't resist trying to work it into the scene, but I'm not sure it works. It doesn't look anywhere near as vivid on a long exposure as it does on a filterless exposure, so the only way I could really include it whilst still smoothing the water was to blend a faster exposure of the sky with a long exposure of the sea. It looks a bit... strange, but I still quite like it anyway.
