Photographed in Carlise Bay Marine Park, Barbados, where there are 6 wrecks...
Berwyn: Carlisle Bay ~ 20ft ~ A 70 ft long World War I French
Tug Boat sunk in 1919 by her own crew. The Berwyn sits between 7 and 10 feet below the surface depending on the tide. As a result of the calm water in the bay and the age of this wreck the Berwyn is covered in marine life including healthy hard and soft coral growth and their associated reef creatures.
Ce-Trek: Carlisle Bay ~ 45ft ~ The Ce-Trek, a derelict boat constructed of cement was sunk in January 1986. This shipwreck sits in deeper water on the northern edge of the park and is home to nice coral, soft coral and sponge growth.
Eillon: Carlisle Bay ~ 55ft ~ This 110ft drug boat was tied up for ~6 years in the Bridgetown careenage before it was sunk on 8th June 1996 in Carlisle Bay Marine Park. The wreck is easily accessqible for penetration and has an air pocket in the bow big enough to a conversation at 25′ under.
Bajan Queen: Carlisle Bay ~ 35ft ~ She was Barbados’ first tugboat named the “Pelican” when the Bridgetown Harbour was being constructed in the 1960’s. A decade later, as more modern tugboats were purchased; the Pelican was then converted to a party boat called “Bajan Queen”. The Bajan Queen holds many memories for thousands of Barbadians and visitors alike. After years of operation as the party spot the Bajan Queen was donated to the Coastal Zone Management Unit. From there with the assistance of our very own Andre Miller the Bajan Queen was cleaned up and sunk on 19th May 2002 in Carlisle Bay Marine Park. She now sits only a few feet below the surface and is accumulating some excellent fish life and good coral diversity.
Cornwallis: Carlisle Bay ~15ft ~ A Canadian freighter sunk by a torpedo from a German U-Boat during World War II. This wreck was relocated from a very high boat traffic region of the bay to this Marine Reserve on 22nd October 2003.
Barge: Carlisle Bay ~ 12ft ~ A Naval Landing Barge found in Carlisle Bay. This wreck is now home to numerous reef fish including the puffer’s bigger cousin the porcupine fish.
Happy New Year!! My first act of real destruction is committed by a New Year's sparkler!

This is an Indianapolis landmark. A few years ago, they moved to a new location, but this old (and huge) neon sign is still there. It was pretty awesome lit up... with reds and bluish greens.

The wreck on Londniddry beach just as the tide was coming in... Think it works well in mono but will post the colour one at some point too....

Some pics I'm uploading to hopefully help Don Wilson out with the scale of these things.
Here's my Warlock in what is quite possibly the dumbest helmet yet sitting where I think the cockpit of this ship was. As you can see these things aren't monstrously huge. They're maybe the same size or a little longer than the F-15, Sukhoi fighters, F-22, etc.
They do seem to be noticeably larger than smaller fighters like the F-35 and F-16.

This is a wrecked ship. I forgot to grab pics of an intact one, but here you can see some Vandals around it for scale. Vandals are a little taller than the player characters, from what I can tell (like maybe six and a half feet?).
Feel free to weigh in. I know the Fallen that serve the Queen seem taller, but it's not clear to me if they're vandals or captains.
