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.
The Corpach shipwreck is actually the rusting remains of a fishing vessel known as ‘MV Dayspring’. The 26 metre-long boat was built in 1975 and was used as a fishing boat, trawling the North Sea to catch herring and mackerel.
The ship was later re-named ‘Golden Harvest’.
Photographed on a seriously windy afternoon on a beach near Haifa, this old wreck of a small fishing boat from the 70's slowly rots away creating a wonderful photo opportunity!
A merky grey day for this three shot joiner of the boats at Salen Mull. The best I could make of the ultra flat light!

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.
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.
A 4-image panorama, spanning more than 180 degrees of rocky shore, so unforgiving for navigation mistakes.
The wreck of the BOS 400 barge that ran aground in 1994. More information on that tragedy here.
The BNSF 7847 was heavily damaged in a collision with an opposing train at Bonner, MT when the crew on the westbound loaded grain failed to stop for an eastbound grain empty taking the siding. Fortunately, no crew members were seriously injured.
Here, its seen just north of the BNSF Topeka, KS shops on 4/26/2015.
Another shot taken at Lower Upnor on the River Medway, Kent UK. This part of the river was the location of an attack by the Dutch fleet during Tudor times. There are many wrecks in the area though most are relatively recent.
Trebetherick
Another section of a wrecked ship on Trebetherick Point in the Camel Estuary.
This is another vessel which at some point in the past will have come to grief on the Doom Bar sand bar at the mouth of the Camel Estuary.
For centuries the Doom Bar has been regarded as a significant danger to shipiing. To be approached with caution in order to avoid running aground. When sails were the main source of power ships coming around Stepper Point would lose the wind, causing loss of steerage, leaving them to drift away from the shipping channel.
Richard Hellyer, the Sub-Commissioner of Pilotage at Padstow, gave evidence in 1859 that the Doom Bar was regarded as so dangerous that in a storm, vessels would risk being wrecked on the coast rather than negotiate the channel to Padstow harbour.
The Bar has accounted for more than 600 beachings, capsizes and wrecks since records began early in the nineteenth century, the majority of which are wrecks.
Despite improvements in maritime technology, the RNLI still deals with incidents on the Doom Bar. In February 1997, two fishermen drowned after their boat capsized. Two anglers had died in a similar incident in 1994. On 25th June 2007 the Padstow lifeboat along with a rescue helicopter, rescued the crews of two yachts in separate incidents from the area.
