This old fishing boat has been around for decades. The boat now sits on the bottom of flooded Tomales Bay, which is quite shallow. The water is high due to king tides and heavy rains.
The first comment below shows what it looked like in 2012.
Thanks for stopping by!

The wreck of the 'MV Dayspring' fishing boat at Corpach, Fort William with Ben Nevis beyond, Highland, Scotland, UK
One from the holiday. I uploaded a shot of this wreck last year, but this time we visited, we went past to view from the other side (and our boat got a lot closer).
Union Pacific C41-8W No. 9504 leads an APSCLA container train through Lake Point, Utah the evening of July 21, 1994. UP 9504 and UP 9502 were involved in a collision with a westbound train in Keystone, Nebraska on October 1, 1993. Both locomotives were only eight days old at the time, and were repaired by UP and returned to service. Info from UtahRails.net
Finally, and after many appeals to prevent it, Welbeck Street car park is being demolished. This is a Brutalist structure much loved by photographers. I have converted one of my photos of the car park into a ball, using Photoshop, to represent its destruction.
On Saltwick Bay near Whitby lies a wreck. Many people stand and stare at this. Many a tourist will ask the name of the stricken vessel? Thats easy-its a wrecked trawler named the Admiral Von Tromp which foundered In October 1976. The curious will then ask how it got wrecked-thats more difficult to answer-it is still a mystery which will never be fully solved. The one man who could have solved the riddle died in the water that day

I haven't posted here for a while so this is a shot I took a month or so ago down at Longniddry.
This is a well photographed spot but the wreck is really falling apart with about 30% missing since I last looked a few years back.
2 shots of the abandoned wreck near Roa Island Cumbria. Looking away from the island dismantling has begun on this abandoned trawler. In the background what looks like a lifeboat from a large ship.
This photo doesnt do it any justice but the sky, just before and just after sunset, was spectacularly awesome.
It is a fair walk to this wreck and I've wanted to do it ever since I saw the first photo of it when I joined flickr. You could say it was on my bucket list well at last I've managed it it may have taken twice as long as for a more able person I'm just glad to have done it!
No treats available at the dairyland house near Monroe,WI. Unless you're a weird like me, and like photographing this sort of thing! LOL.
An abandoned old boat wreck lies stranded and half buried in ever encroaching sand. The shipwreck is on a tidal beach at Crow Point, North Devon, SW England, UK. The poignant weathered wood with its patches of brightly coloured flaking paintwork on its broken skeletal remains hint at its former days of glor
Had a mini-holiday for a few days to one of my fave parts of the world - Port Stephens. Unfortunately, the weather was perfect, sunny skies all day. Perfect that is except if you are a keen photographer and want clouds. The more clouds the merrier!
So this is the beautifully secluded and hard to access Wreck Beach. At the moment the trail to the beach is closed because rains have made the path unnavigable. Almost. Lucky for me I can't read Inglish and like lowering myself over muddy ravines on a thin bit of rope ;) And it was the only time there was a hint of cloud about ! I have no idea why these rocks are the colour they are , or why they are bleeding, but they made for an interesting subject.
Hope to catch up on everyone's feeds soon. Cheers

Corpach, Fort William, Scotland
STS will be back shortly, but here's a few notes on the image...
In recent years this wreck has become a photographer’s hotspot along with the Glenfinnan Viaduct of Harry Potter fame.
It's true name is the "MV Dayspring", a fishing boat built in 1975 to catch herring and mackerel. It's life as a fishing vessel came to an end in 2000 and was moored in the Fort William area. However, the boat was caught in a storm in December 2011 which ripped it from its moorings where it ran aground at Corpach.
Since then, the Dayspring MV has been quietly waiting where the storm brought it. Not so quietly... in 2017, a large rescue operation was launched because a boat had just triggered its distress beacon. It was actually the wreck’s buoy. It was perhaps MV Dayspring’s trick not to be forgotten. The banks of the loch have now calmed down. But the old fishing boat is still waiting for someone to look at it and to reinvent a future for it.
Blakeney was a commercial seaport until the early 20th century. Now the harbour is silted up, and only small boats can make their way out past Blakeney Point to the sea. The harbour and surrounding marshes are owned by the National Trust and is a nature reserve where seals can be seen basking on the sand. (from wikipedia)
