Taken back in July of 1991, here's the dragger "Commodore IV", retired after several decades of fishing and scalloping. She appears to have been deliberately scuttled and left in place as part of a breakwater. The structure off the bow is one of several extending to the left (south, then east), offering some protection for the south-facing structures along the shore. A newer stone breakwater has replaced this improvised version, part of a two section affair that almost completely surrounds the wharf area and associated buildings.
Driving out to Cape Forchu on the Yarmouth Bar Road (Rt 304), about a half mile past the "Lost to the Sea Memorial" the road crosses a small steel bridge that spans a channel connecting Yarmouth Harbor (south), to the bay (north). I parked near the bridge and grabbed a few photos of Commodore IV, plus another derelict dragger fifty yards east of the bridge. This second boat was in worst shape than its companion, no name being visible anywhere.
Commodore IV was built at the A. F. Theriault & Son boatyard in Meteghan River in 1963, with a gross weight of 176 tons, and according to a marine industry information website... was listed in 1992 as being "out of service" (no longer operating?). Most folks looking at this photo would agree that at the time I shot this image, she was most definitely "out of service" a year earlier than listed.
This image is a copy of an Ektachrome 100 transparency shot with a Pentax 6x7. It was made using a Nikon D3500 camera, a 55mm Micro-Nikkor lens, with a Nikon 4T close-up lens, and a Sigma 1.6x close-up lens mounted on the 4T.

...those nights spent drinking wine, eating cheese and walks in the moonlight down by the sea.

It's not the kind of picture I usually take, but I think this little fellow looks kinda cute ;-)
Have a great weekend!
On a typical autumn morning, the course of the River Thames below Wittenham Clumps is marked out by bands of shallow mist. The church at Little Wittenham can be seen on the left and this is a short distance from Day's lock, not visible in this view.
Day's Lock is named after a local family back in the 17th century, but its geographical location is close to the village of Little Wittenham. Overlooking the Thames at this point are the twin hills of Wittenham Clumps, whilst other local communities include Clifton Hampden and Dorchester-on-Thames.

By the spring of 1984 the pressure of a young family considerably curtailed my railway photography. Another aspect that also suffered was my record keeping of what I had actually taken and here is a case in point. Sporting a rather faded blue livery and looking decidedly well worn, Class 104 Drivig Motor Second Lavatory (DMSL) M53485 (the original first class section having been downgraded) stands in the murky depths of Leeds station. The transparency mount has a date of January 1985 stamped on it so dating the shot to probably late 1984.
Whilst looking for something else today (28th January 2025) I came across an old notebook detailing work related things I had been looking at on various trackside visits around 1982 – 1984. On flipping through the notebook full of signalling notes, circuit details, location profiles etc I suddenly came across a page recording the details of a roll of Kodachrome 64 film taken in the autumn of 1984 and therefore can now date this photograph as being taken on the 3rd October 1984.
Unit History
Three hundred and two Class 104 vehicles were built by Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Co. Ltd between 1957 and 1958. They were formed into fifteen power trailer two car sets, fifty six three car sets and twenty six four car sets and allocated to the London Midland and North Eastern Regions. M53485 was originally Driving Motor Composite Lavatory (DMCL) 50485 and was part of a three car set 50433 + 59141 + 50485. For most of its career M50485 was allocated to Buxton working suburban duties to Manchester. With the introduction of second generation DMUs to Buxton Line duties M50485 transferred to Newton Heath. 53485 was withdrawn shortly after this photograph in December 1984 and broken up during February 1986.
