Wrecked Streetcar
From the back: "Flood March 25 and 26, 1913, Dayton, Ohio. Scene on north side of Third Street, just west of Algonquin Hotel, looking west. The force of the water has upset one of the big traction cars, that run to Richmond, Indiana. Imagine the force of the water. Notice street paving completely torn up by the water force. "

An aerial view of the USS Arizona Memorial and the sunken wreck of the battleship. This image was taken at low tide when more of the ship was visible than when we were there in the memorial.
When the tide goes out at Berrow, near Burnham-On-Sea, the bones of a long dead ship stick out of the sands as a stark reminder of a savage gale and a gallant rescue at the end of the last century.
It all started during the first days of March 1897 when a howling south westerly gale swept up the Bristol Channel, bringing with it high seas, driving snow and sleet.
Many ships soon found themselves in distress, among them the Norwegian barque SS Nornen which had tried out to ride out the storm in the lee of the Lundy Roads but had found her anchors dragging. She was being driven towards Berrow mud flats. The crew desperately tied to save her, but were fighting a losing cause.

The rescue fireman's name on the back of his jacket was really GILBREATH and the poor soul who plummeted off the overpass actually survived... but what a phenomenal coincidence to have the folds of the jacket tell a story which could have been so tragic.

MV Dayspring - built in 1975, an excellent fishing vessel bringing mackerel and herring. Renamed Golden Harvest by new owners and her last voyage under her own power was in 2001. She was left moored for several years at Kinlochleven Pier, but due to a 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.

These old houses along the river in front of the cathedral have been condemned. The City has finally come to an agreement with the last owners. The houses will be leveled and there will be an open plaza in front of the cathedral. The houses are from many different eras and have not been looked after for decades. We are looking forward to the change- it will open our view from the terrace downriver.

Diesae alten Häuser dem Fluss entlang und vor der Kathedrale werden demnächst abgerissen. Die Stadtverwaltung hat nach jahrelanger Diskussion die letzten Wohnungsbesitzer ¨berreden können auszuziehen. Die Häuser werden abgerissen und vor der Kathedrale wird es einen grossen Platz geben mit Sicht aufs Wasser. Die Häuser stammen aus verschiedensten Epochen und sind seit jahrzehnten vernachlässigt worden. Für unseren Blick von der Terrasse aus wird das die Sicht flussabwärts öffnen
The day before there was a fierce sandstorm which forced us indoors and delayed the people who had flown to Abu Simbel by a few hours. The next day we set off at first light, with lots of sand still in the air.
The wrecks of Fleetwood Marsh. Shot April 2013. Fleetwood Marsh is a salt marsh bounded by the River Wyre and Fleetwood. It is home to wildlife and also many old fishing boats from the Fleetwood fleet. The fishermen were paid by the Government to decommission their boats, once done the boats were grounded on the marsh and stripped. What is left are the rotting hulls of once proud fishing boats.
