The story goes back in 1980 when a boat was trying to illegally smuggle cigarettes and alcohol in Greece. The Greek navy chased the boat through the Ionian sea and due to the stormy weather it ran aground on the coast to the north of the island where you can find it nowadays

Another Falkland Islands wreck. I'm not sure where this was now as it was taken about 23 years ago. If anyone remembers please let me know.
See where this picture was taken (very roughly as I can't remember the exact location now). [?]
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.
This was a light blue 1958 Edsel ranger 2 door hardtop. It was broadsided near Salt Lake City, Utah back in 1973 and has been sitting in someone's back yard ever since. Hit so hard that the rear window shattered from impact

Helmet, gas mask, rifle, shoe pieces aboard the "Helmet Wreck" - an unidentified Japanese wreck from WW2.
Following the wreck in Grantville, KS, this work train came in with a load of pre-fab track and ballast.

The Chikuzen Wreck lies 13 or so miles northwest of Virgin Gorda and is one of the best dives I have done. Huge schools of grunts and snapper cover the reef as well as dozens of huge amberjack and almaco jacks and perhaps hundreds of great barracuda.
One of the wrecks - the image tag says Gubal Island but I suspect that might not be corect - anybody know?
This image was taken with a Canon Ixus 105 (the most basic p/s model in the Ixus line) and a jerry-rigged external strobe after my SLR housing flooded on the 2nd day of the trip. (I should also mention the happy ending here since I have been getting a lot of flickr condolences: everything was insured)
Meanwhile, I was both surprised and pleased with some of the results I was able to get with the little Ixus Franken-rig.
This old wreck of a fishing boat must have seen countless dawns as it slowly rots away at Layan in Phuket. As I am going back to Phuket this weekend, I hope to be taking some more shots here but unfortunately the weather forecast isn't too good.
