The Paguro platform lies on the seabed off Lido di Dante.
On 29 September 1965, an accident during the drilling of a new methane well caused the offshore Agip platform Paguro to explode and sink to the bottom of the sea. The platform now rests 12 miles away from the port of Marina di Ravenna at a depth of 25 metres.
Thanks to the exceptional aquatic life which developed in the artificial reef, the wreck has recently turned into a popular destination for sport divers. The former platform swarms with animal and plant species. Many moving invertebrates like echinoderms, olotuloids, starfishes and ophiuroids live in the area. The fish population is typical of rocky seabeds, which is quite rare for the north-western Adriatic region and includes brown meagres, saddled seabreams, lithognathus, black scorpionfishes, European basses and European congers. Among the shellfishes are European lobsters, scyllarus arctus and some varieties of crabs. Pinna pectinata, many coelenterates, sea anemones and cerianthidae are some of the aquatic plants that grow on the muddy seabed surrounding the wreck.

The barky "North Star" slipped her moorings during Storm Abigail and lies alongside the sea wall in Lytham. She seems to have suffered some damage aft during Storm Barney?

Pan Am Railways Train WA-R smokes it up as they pass through the "Dirty Lew" on 1/16/2022.
At the time Pan Am was in the process of cleaning up several derailments around the network. In December of 2021 Sappi-3 stacked up about 15 cars on the Hinkley Branch, two of which the 175 ton road cranes couldn't rerail. The "repaired" section through the derailment site ultimately resulted in 4 more derailments over the following months. While it seemed like Pan Am had the intention of leaving those two loaded paper cars for CSX to clean up, not wanting to bring out the two wreck trains, a derailment in Saco caused by the crew of PO-3 running a derail for the second time in a week, resulted in several LPG cars flipping over.
Since those weighed too much for one of the road cranes to rerail, they brought out both the Waterville wreck set with the 200 ton Brownhoist crane and support cars and the East Deerfield wreck set with a 250 ton Brownhoist and two Cat 583H pipelayers.
In the end, the flatcar the exB&M pipelayer rode on and its support car got kicked out at North Chelmsford, after one of the friction bearing trucks overheated. As a result, the wreck crews had to use just the cranes to rerail the cars, normally only doing one per day.
Since the train was already in Maine, the decision was made to send it to the Hinkley Branch to recover the two paper cars.
So on the morning of 1/16/2022 the train was supposed to depart Rigby before sunrise, to get into position at the derailment site in Hinkley.
Well, per the usual train WAPO lost enough of its units, that it died in Portland blocking the busy Forest Ave. With no available power or crews, the train had to block the single track main until a maintainer got enough of the units going to get the train to Rigby. By that point the original crew had timed out and it was some time before a yard crew could be freed up to come and drag the train into Rigby.
Several Downeasters piled up waiting for the traffic jam to clear as well. This resulted in the wreck train finally getting out after lunch.
Things wouldn't be smooth sailing, in Cumberland Center the leader MEC B40-8 5973 sprung a coolant leak and ran out of water, before shutting down. Not long after taking the Backroad at Royal Jct the train had to stop due to sticking brakes. There were several more stops at New Glouster and Danville Jct before the issue was finally resolved. By the time they were rolling across the L/A bridge light was quickly fading.
Due to traffic I got behind them at Leeds Jct and didn't pick them up again until Readfield (despite the 20 MPH restriction for plain bearing cars I think they were going faster). By that point all the light was shot.
The train would rerail the two cars over the following days before the Waterville set was left at Waterville, while the ED set languished at Yard 8 in Portland for a few months before returning to East Deerfield prior to the takeover.
Since then the equipment has been scattered. The 470 Club got the Waterville baggage car and idler flat, the rigging car, the MEC dozer rigging car, B&M wheel car and the exMEC flatcar. The Railroad Museum of New England got the exB&M troop sleeper and the exB&M caboose that was welded to a flatcar. The Batten Kill and the SC&H got the other flat car, the ED baggage car, the exB&M flatcar and the 250 ton crane and idler, however I think they have since passed up the the latter two. I believe the Waterville dining car is still up for grabs, while the 200 ton crane despite being donated to the 470 Club, was sold to a buyer out of PA. The two Cat 583H's were sold to a company in the MA area which does work for CSX and a few other railroads.
The loss of the Pan Am wreck train was truly the end of an era for railroading in North America. The retirement of the train under CSX marked the end of the wreck train, something which had been used by railroads to clean up wrecks for over 100 years. It is worth noting a few railroads still retain a few cranes, however to my knowledge, none still employ a dedicated train and I haven't heard of any cranes being used in the modern era.

The Irene, wrecked off Grim Ness, South Ronaldsay, Orkney. The Longhope lifeboat was lost with all the crew on the way to rescue her.
this is one of the two wrecks located about 100 yds from the cottage i stayed at in Anglesey a couple of weeks ago, I managed to get a few shots despite the awful weather!
Quite a few of these around the coast of Mull. ( I mean the boats, not the rain clouds, there were more than a few of those)
While hiking through the quiet landscape, I came across this lonely car wreck -
rusting away, forgotten by time.
This is just offshore Candolin beach Goa, ship dismantling. must be millions of photos of this kicking around..so heres a HDR
This wreck is “Manx Rose” and she was built in Arklow, Ireland, in 1942 for the Admiralty. She used to work from Pwllheli in the early 1980’s and then from Amlwch. She was decomissioned about 1985 and taken to Dulas Estuary, Anglesey.
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should've let you win
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you win

An archived photo from a November of 2010 derailment in East Dubuque, IL Two Hulcher side lift dozers lift up the wrecked out hulk of a grain car. A semi, with a low slung flatbed trailer would back up under it, and the dozers would place it on the trailer. Within 10 minutes, the wrecked car was strapped down, and enroute to a scrap yard to be cut up

Long covid demolished the life I knew. I am trying now for disability and hoping to keep my home. I am in pain every second of every day. No health insurance because I had it through my 21-year public teaching position, and when I had to leave that job, I lost my insurance. I couldn't afford the $1k a month that COBRA would have set me back. I can't begin to afford marketplace insurance. I used my savings to survive financially the past few years. My pension is there, but I'm not old enough to access it; nor will it be remotely enough to live on if I can get Teacher's Retirement Disability. Every day is a struggle to continue. I can get basic care at a wonderful local clinic, but even something like a cortisone shot requires me to go elsewhere. And in order to qualify financially for that shot, I'd already need to be on disability.
This illness is one of many, including chronic Lyme and ME/CFS (the latter of which I probably actually do have now, along with osteoarthritis and asthma) that is poorly understood and often dismissed because it's an "invisible" illness that, on a tolerable day, isn't always evident to observers.
The US needs health care reform in an immediate and sweeping way. I'm not counting on it, though. I truly don't know what will happen.
This book is a really powerful account of what it's like for those of us living with invisible illnesses and disabilities.
