I have seen and photographed many old boat wrecks along the shores of Ireland. They all have a lot of character and I am sure they all have interesting tales to tell.

You really need to view this shot Large On Black to make head or tail of it.
This is a wreck that I have been wanting to shoot for ages. A few of us decided to camp out on Stockton Beach on Saturday night in the hope we would get a nice sunrise or moon lit evening. Unfortunately we got neither.
Never the less, here's one of my shots from dusk. This is a 2min exposure (taken with my stonking big bad old 10-stopper ND filter). I wanted to really abstract everything except for the wreck itself.

This shipwreck has become known as the Corpach Wreck, however, her real name is MV Dayspring. Built in 1975, she was an old fishing vessel that was moored at Kinlochleven Pier in 2001. Unfortunately in 2011, a heavy storm caused a chain to fail and she ran aground and has been there ever since.
Another sunset image from my recent few days holiday in Somerset.
This image is of the shipwreck of Norwegian barque SS Nornen which is located on Berrow beach near Burnham-on-sea.
I did not expect to see any colour from the sunset due to the heavy cloud cover but luckily there was a small clear area in the sky on the horizon which provided some colour to this dark dramatic image!
For those that are interested the SS Norman ran around in March 1897 when a howling south westerly gale swept up the Bristol Channel, bringing with it high seas, driving snow and sleet.
When the mists cleared on the morning of March 3, the crippled ship was spotted just off Gore Sands, her sails blown to rags by the gale. The Burnham lifeboat was launched with its crew of ten oarsmen battled through high seas and winds to the SS Nornen. Despite the gale, the lifeboat managed to get alongside the helpless ship, just as she was being driven onto the sands
.
The ship's crew of ten, together with their dog, were taken off by the lifeboat and landed safely at Burnham at three o'clock in the afternoon. The rescue is recorded on the honours board which stands in the entrance to the Burnham RNLI Station.

If you fancy a visit to the wreck you need to make sure the tide is low and park at St Mary's Church at Berrow, just south of Brean, take the foot path to your left and walk across the golf course over the sand dunes on to the beach and the wreck will be seen in northerly direction on the beach.
0.8 seconds exposure using a Lee 0.6 ND grad filter.
Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
Remains of some ship wreck situated in the Aberlady bay area.
Tide still had at least 2 hours to go before it would have reached here so moved on to another location.
I will be back!
For those of you with an iphone, I have 100 of my "best" in an application called "ifolio". It is a free application
This week has been very busy for me so I had to get out and do some "therapy". When I arrived at Dicky Beach I got a big surprise. First, every beach access I tried was closed with a fence due to massive beach erosion. After the 4th attempt I found an access point to get down to the beach and walk towards the wreck. But wait....were there was another surprise, the wreck has been wrecked by the recent wild weather. One of my preferred sections of the wreck has been knocked over by wild seas. How sad to see this...it has lost a lot of it's magic for me.

This is the wreck of the fishing vessel Dayspring, lying in shallow water at Diabaig on the West Coast of Scotland.
When I first saw this boat many years ago it was a state, but reasonably intact. Over the years I have seen it crumble - a metaphor for many things perhaps...
I took this back in 2015, so it could well have broken up completely by now.
I originally posted this as a B&W, but was never entirely happy with it. I think I need a lesson from the Prince of Darkness himself!
Thanks to everyone who called by, in particular to those who faved and commented - much appreciated!
Unbelievable, during my research about the plane wreck I found this. It makes me so sad: icelandmag.visir.is/article/myrdalssandur-sand-beach-famo...

Old Wreck down Portsmouth, was hoping for a nice sunset but just didn't happen. But was still a nice evening.
Aurika, derelict pleasure craft left abandoned on the banks of the Pitt River.
She sat there alone and decaying for the best part of about two years.
Since this image was captured, a notice of removal was placed in the local papers.
Then as promised by the authorities, she vanished. Destination unknown.
* If you zoom in close enough you might notice a large fracture in her bow and continuing through to the bottom of the hull.

Re-worked, seen at Gythion Bay, Greece April 2019
Dimitrios (Greek Δημήτριος) is a Greek shipwreck famous due to its picturesque location on an easily accessible sandy beach near Gythio, Greece.
Dimitrios (previously named Klintholm), a small, 67-metre (220 ft) cargo ship of 965 gross register tons cargo capacity built in Denmark in 1950, was registered in the Prefecture of Piraeus, registration no. 2707. The ship belonged 76.75% to the Molaris Brothers (Greek: Αφοί Μόλαρη) and 23.25% to the Matsinos Brothers (Greek Αφοί Ματσινού). Dimitrios has been stranded on the beach at Valtaki (Greek Βαλτάκι) in today's Evrotas municipality in the prefecture of Laconia, Greece, since 23 December 1981.
There are many rumors about the ship's origins and how it got stranded on the beach. Most relate that the ship was used to smuggle cigarettes between Turkey and Italy. She was seized by the port authorities of Gythio and then deliberately released from the port and left to be dragged by the sea to the beach at Valtaki, about 5 kilometres (2.7 nmi; 3.1 mi) from the port of Gythio. She was then set on fire to hide the evidence of cigarette smuggling. Another, less common rumor speaks of a ghost ship of unknown origins.
However, according to a book written by the Honorary Chief of the Hellenic Coast Guard, Vice Admiral Christos Ntounis (1935–2010), Ta Navagia stis Ellinikes thalasses (translated as The shipwrecks of the Greek seas) there is more to be said about the true history of the ship.
In Ta Navagia stis Ellinikes thalasses (Volume B 1950–2000), Ntounis writes that the ship made an emergency docking at Gythio on 4 December 1980 because her captain needed access to a hospital due to a serious illness. However, after the ship's docking, financial problems arose with the crew, as did various engine problems, coupled with insurance measures imposed by various lenders. The crew was then fired and the task of safeguarding the ship was assigned to Georgios Daniil and Vasilis Parigoris.
The ship was docked at Gythio until June 1981, when she was declared unsafe due to wear on the docking ropes and starboard list due to water entering her hull. The port authorities asked for her to be moved to an anchorage outside the port for safety reasons, but the owners did not respond until November 1981. The book states that "at approximately 12:30 p.m. on the 9th of November 1981 the ship was swept about 2 [nautical?] miles [2.3 miles; 3.7 km] away due to severe weather conditions and it was temporary anchored". But the temporary anchorage did not last for long, as the ship was swept away again and finally stranded at its current location on the beach at Valtaki on 23 December 1981. The ship was then simply abandoned there and no attempts were made to recover her.

Another shot of the wrecked boats at Salen on the island of Mull but this time taken as it was getting dark. I'm quite enjoying experimenting with flash at this time of the evening as it can produce some interesting results
I'm back after twenty days I spent in Scotland and England.
Here is a first picture of this trip that began with clouds and rain on the island of Skye

The old wreck at Magherclogher Beach, Bunbeg, Co.Donegal, Ireland.
This famous Shipreck is the 'Bád Eddie' (Eddie's Boat), a shipwreck which has been situated on Magherclogher beach since the early 70s where it had run ashore due to rough seas.
Here is one of many small boats abandoned along the shore of the River Medway at Hoo, Kent. This is for my friend mickeydud who is helping me print some pictures for a project. He and I enjoyed a day out here with our local photography club and we were treated to some lovely skies. Thanks Mick.
Taken at Blyth beach this evening.
I truly wish the remains of this hulk of a hull wasn't next to the dilapidated pipe but you play the hand you're dealt!
The sky in front of me picked up some lovely pinky purpley hues however behind me it was ablaze. Sadly behind me was also Fergusons Transport yard. I refer to my former statement.
Still, this shot includes a wreck, a pipe, a pier, Blyth lighthouse and 3 wind turbines. Did a seascape ever include more interest?
I had to do it, here's another shot of one of the anchors on Wreck Beach. It's leftover from the Mary Gabrielle that sunk off the coast back in the late 1800s. There's a few anchors and ship parts from various other ships scattered around the beach. It's pretty cool to see.
