My 'Wreck This Journal' as of 6 October 2012. I've had it for a couple of months now.
Taken with Canon EOS 60D.
Here's the story...
In 1980, a freighter was pursued by the Greek Navy. The crew were suspected of smuggling contraband and the navy chased the ship through the Ionian sea.

Allegedly there was 'wine, tobacco and women' on board and the chase came to an abrupt end when the ship ran aground in stormy weather on the coast to the north of the island at Porto Vromi.
Regular boat & road trips operate to the Ship wreck.
The wreck site of the PS Albion. In 1840 she was heading into Jack Sound when it is said that the helmsman altered course to avoid a rowing boat, striking Crab Rock in the process. The captain ordered the vessel turned to shore and made for the beach. All on board were saved as was the cargo. Alas the vessel was not so lucky and was a total loss. She eventualy broke up and all that's left today is this shaft, believed to be part of her steam engine. Not having a name the beach was thereafter known as Albion Sands. In the background is the gap between the mainland and Gateholm the other side of which is Marloes Sands, scene that day of filming for the up coming movie "Snow White and the Huntsman" Thanks toPeter (pds35) for the initial info and directions.

If anyone knows the identity of this vehicle, I'd like to know.
Didn't actually upload the back of Wrecking Ball last time. As I've mentioned before, I started feeling like there was no point. But here it is now, not a whole lot of differences to the front.
Odyssey is off Mud Hole, resting on sand in 110 feet of water. The ship is massive, 300 feet from bow to stern, 50 feet wide and 85 feet tall. The size is also the most impressive thing about diving the Odyssey. Exploring the cargo area, along passageways the length of a football field, divers look tiny.
The base of this boat was sitting below 110 feet. This midsection where I am filming from is at 80 feet. The top of the mast is 50 feet.
The last diver in the video is Jerry.
So far....

Keith Anderson and Bob Hitchcock perished after their aircraft, the "Kookaburra", made a forced landing in the Tanami Desert on the 10th April 1929 while on their way to search for Charles Kingsford Smith and Charles Ulm. Kingsford Smith and Ulm were found in the Kimberley Region several days later.
Found fourteen days later, the "Kookaburra" wreck was abandoned until 1978 when it was recovered by aviator and adventurer Dick Smith and placed in the museum in 1982.
