I went on a little photo hunt last night and found this wonderfully photogenic shipwreck. I don't know the story behind this. It might be a sad one.
Located at the Canyon Farm Yard Lodge. It is a very nice spot on the way to the Fish River canyon where you cross the railways. There is a few car wrecks and the owners are very friendly.
Found the old wreck after a longish walk, somebody had conveniently made a gap in the fence. Scrambled down to the waters edge over boulders, and rubbish, set up tripod and it started to rain!!
An old umbrella was their, but still had to wipe filters after a couple of shots. However,managed to get a few photo's.
Got quite wet and wellie leaked staggered back to the car. Thinking why do I do this!!!
Thank you to Trevor Cotton for info on location made it after a year!! Trevor Cotton

DC3 Plane Wreck,
Solheimasandur,
Iceland.
The plane wreck on Sólheimasandur glacial outwash plain in South Iceland has featured in countless traveler photos, a Bollywood movie, several TV commercials and music videos, perhaps most famously in a 2007 Sigur Rós documentary, and more recently in the video for Justin Bieber’s I’ll Show You. The scenery and otherworldly composition of black sand and weathered gray hulk of the plane draw thousands of visitors every year.
According to official US records the crash took place on November 24, but this is incorrect: The correct time and date is the afternoon of November 21, 1973, as reported by local media and eyewitness accounts. The cause of the crash are somewhat unclear as accounts differ as to whether it was due to human error, a mechanical failure, the plane running out of fuel, a storm - or a combination of all these factors. The most popular theory of what caused the crash is that the plane crashed after running out of fuel during a storm, after the pilot accidentally switched to the wrong fuel tank.
All five crew members survived the crash uninjured, but the plane was badly damaged.

Kwinana Ship Wreck
In 1922 the SS Kwinana was shipwrecked in the Cockburn Sound. This resulted in the area becoming known as Kwinana Beach in 1937. In 1959 the wreck was cut to water level .Time has reduced much of the wreck which has been filled with concrete, forming a platform parallel with the shore that is used for local fishermen.

The rather eerie remains of the trawler Epine, wrecked on Djupalonssandur beach, Snaefellsnes peninsula, Iceland in 1948. The remains of the trawler are still scattered across this beach over 70 years later.
I believe 14 men drowned and 5 were rescued (just had a quick check - there’s an interesting official report into the wrecking here, it’s the pdf at the bottom ):
The wreck of the Peter Iredale, as seen last week... it was a beautiful evening to be scrambling around on the Oregon Coast.
