SS Nornen Exposed
Our local shipwreck, SS Nornen, on the coast of the Severn Estuary at Berrow, Somerset. It came to rest here during March of 1897, over 117 years ago!
The variation in height between the low & high tides in the Severn estuary is the second highest in the world, hence it is extremely difficult to find the point when the waves are lapping around the wreck. However I ventured out in hope that I had my timings were correct, even though the weather conditions were very poor to say the least. The main problem I had was that, as the tide was receeding, it left the sand extremely soft & boggy. This meant my tripod was sinking in the sand whilst attempting a long exposure. I will return on a sunnier day, but having come home very wet & muddy (as well as hungry) I decided to post my image so that my efforts were not in vain :-)
