The old wreck on Loch Linnhe at Corpach over shadowed by the weak of Ben Nevis, the UK's highest mountain. The light was fantastic and the drama added to by the fine mist on the Loch. A beautiful morning.
The BOS 400, a French Derrick Lay Barge that ran aground while being towed by the Russian tugboat Tigr. June 26, 1994.The Tigr was chartered to tow the BOS 400 from Pointe-Noire in the Republic of Congo to Cape Town, South Africa. The tow-rope broke loose during a storm and causing the vessel to run aground off Duiker Point near Sandy Bay. Despite several towage attempts, the shipwreck was considered a total loss as salvors were able to recover little from the wreck. The Tigr barge was built in 1987 in Polish shipyards and had remained idle in the Cape Town docks from 1994 to 2000, when it was sold for $625,000.
The Boss 400 was the biggest floating crane in Africa when the towing lines broke and hit the rocks in a storm.
Being a barge and having no main engines of its own it had to be towed to wherever it was working in the world. It had been used in the industry to pick up huge pipes. The tug that had the towing operation was underpowered and not up to the job. They found themselves unable to cope with the conditions and radioed through to Cape Town harbor to ask for assistance.
lthough two tugs were dispatched they were unable to get any lines onto the boss 400 due to the extremely rough seas. It is said a while later the original line snapped and the Boss 400 found itself blowing onto the rocks in Maori Bay were she has been lying ever since. All 14 crew that had been aboard the Boss 400 were airlifted to safety.
Today is the only day that has good weather during the recent two weeks. Although I only slept less than 5 hours last night, I struggled to seize the rare opportunity to catch the magic hour.
I went to my usual favorite spot. Unlike before, there is a wrecked boat staying at the shore this time. With the lovely color reflected in the sky, I took this long exposure shot.
Exposure: 120 seconds.

"The Corpach Wreck," her real name is MV Dayspring. She was built in 1975 and in her prime an excellent fishing vessel bringing mackerel and herring. She was renamed Golden Harvest by new owners and made her last voyage under her own power in 2001. She was left moored for several years at Kinlochleven Pier. Due to a raiser chain failure during a heavy storm she ran aground near the Corpach Sea Lock on the 8th December 2011 and has lain there ever since.
This is an iconic SEQ photographic location and every Brisbane based photographer should have a photo of Dicky Wreck in their photostream - this is my take on it!
This is quite an old shot - taken back in 2008 not long before a storm surge smashed down the nearside of the wreck.
I got lucky with the sunset on this particular evening.

The famous Thornham wreck, probably the most photographed boat on the Norfolk coast. This derelict fishing boat is tilted against the bank of one of the streams that meander throughout this expansive marshy area, close to the ramshackle piers where working boats are moored.
Eastbound SE98 derailed while passing over Shippenport Road bridge in Roxbury Township creating a mess for the EL. Reports stated that rotted ties on the bridge caused the rails to open up causing the derailment. The scene is looking westbound towards Lake Hopatcong with EL 432 on the westbound main at the front of the wreck train and 411 and C185 on the eastbound main just before the wreck site. Hulcher Railroad Services were on the scene with their "Sidewinders" helping EL clean up the mess. Thanks to Art Erdman for info about the wreck. 02-13-1974 Howard Kent Jr.
We went to photograph these wrecks an the Wyre estuary yesterday. I was last there 14 years ago and they don't appear to have changed.The mud was very slippy and quite difficult to walk on whist carrying my camera. Fortunately did not slip and fall into it, though nearly lost a wellie.

This fishing boat tried to take a short cut between dangerous rocks and a warning light and hit the rocks. It has moved some several hundred yards over the last two winters due to heavy storms. If you feel you recognise it, it was used for posters for the film "Life of Pi".
The long hike down to the black beach of Sólheimasandur is totally worth it to see this surreal scene. Over 40 years of rough weather is definitely wearing it down, but I'm amazed that so much of the wreckage is still there.
The old ship wreck that lies hidden on Bran Sands at South Gare, it can be seen only when the tide is out.

This is what happens when you have a week off work and get bored. I had lunch, went to the gym, sat down and twiddled my thumbs. I thought of something close I could photograph but the only thing that popped into mind was the Marie Gabrielle Shipwreck. I jumped in the car at 2 and shot off hoping to make it in time. I got down the 366 steps just after 5 so I was :)

Where's Matt Helm?
Update -I found this story online:
Last occupied by the Daiichi Sankyo pharmaceutical company in 2016, the 113,000-square-foot building next to the Parsippany Hilton is currently being torn down. Commercial real estate firm Onyx Equities LLC bought the 10.1-acre property for $13.9 million in 2020 and secured approvals to replace it with a 103,000-square-foot warehouse.
The only thing New Jersey needs less of than office space, is warehouse space.
