This is the Kakapo wreck, down the beach from where I live.
On May 26th, 1900 Kakapo ran aground in fog, at Slangkop Point, Noordhoek beach, South Africa. All were saved. She was declared a total loss and after WWI, her hull plating was used to keep sand off the railway lines and road.

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.

I bought Wreck This Journal to try to inspire my creativity a bit. I'll scan and post the pages as I finish them.
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.

The SS Ayrfield is one of several old shipwrecks around Homebush Bay in Sydney's west.
As an avid wreck diver and underwater photographer I have always enjoyed the challenge of trying to get images of shipwrecks. Challenging it is, as trying to get even a small wreck in an image is complex when you need to shoot through what is often gloomy water.
To have the opportunity to capture images of a wreck in its final resting place, while shooting from shore is wonderful, and you can really take your time to make a variety of images.
Built over 100 years ago, the SS Ayrfield was one of the '60 milers' – the name given to the numerous colliers that worked between Sydney Harbour and the coalfields of the Illawarra and Hunter regions.
In 1972, the Ayrfield was sent to a ship breaking yard at Homebush, and is one of four wrecks that remain in place.
Homebush Bay was once a hub of Sydney's heavy industry, and became a dumping ground for a lot of industrial waste, including the old ship hulls.
Having been cleaned up, Homebush Bay became the home of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, and is now a residential, sporting and entertainment and business district.
The old wrecks remain in place, and are popular sites for photography, particularly with the setting sun.

Singing "Wrecking Ball" somewhere outside of Beaufort on the way to Savannah. None of us know the words other than "I came in like a wrecking ball".
Mitch was mad that I didn't actually put "Wreck shit." on the front. Classic Lynd Ward ripoff. Benny in Berlin screened these.

This old Patrol Wagon doesn't look as if it's going anywhere. Although it does seem to be mounted onto a trailer, so who knows?

This is near the bottom of the steps to get to Wreck Beach. There are about 400 stairs above. Not too bad going down but a killer going up. Oh and it is a nude beach. Some people should always keep their clothes on.
The oldest wrecking yard in Utah and now the property developers are trying to get Dennis McBride to get rid of all this "art work" so they can build a fancy housing project on an adjoining piece of property,. This place is so full of history and is a photographer's dream.

I actually had a lot of fun with this page! It reminded me of when I was in English class at school.

Tie a string to the spine and swing it against the wall. My 7 yr. old totally loved this. This is the aftermath, the string is wedged into the spine, now a part of the book.
