The wheel wreck represents the remains of a mid 19th century sailing vessel. The site is characterised by a mound of cargo that consists of mining equipment, mainly pipes, rising mains and clack valves associated with pumping, sheave wheels, drive wheels and boiler tubes. The identity of the vessel is the subject of ongoing research.

Burn this page warning: It is probably a good idea to think ahead and have some water handy for this page. Shorty after this picture was taken my entire page turned to bits of charred dust. I nearly burnt the entire book on day 2... oops!

This wasn't as successful as I imagined! I mean when you don't want the pen to smudge and smear it does it so easily!
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.
I-675 South Bound. A 2010 labor Day turned bad for the occupants of this SUV, Contents all over the road, prybar marks on the doors, every piece of glass gone, and now waiting for the removal. A Georgia State Patrol officer is in his car doing paperwork as we drive by going north.
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.
(If I Was not So Weak …)
Si je n’étais pas si faible …
Je t’aurais serré dans mes bras
Je t’aurais séché tes larmes
Je t’aurais pris par la main
Si je n’étais si faible …
Je t’aurais emmené faire un tour ailleurs
Je t’aurais fait marcher
Je t’aurais fait danser
Je t’aurais fait rêver
Si je n’étais si faible …
J’aurais pris du temps pour toi
Je t’aurais fait oublier ton chagrin
J’aurais embrassé
J’aurais pardonné
J’aurais compris
J’aurais aimé …
Si je n’étais si faible ….
