Last month I did a bushwalk with Tatters to the Piper Comanche plane wreck in D'Aguilar National Park in Brisbane, Queensland.
The plane crashed in bad weather in 1977 and unfortunately the pilot was killed. Along the way we saw an old logging winch as previously the park was a state forest.
Here is a link to the crash report: www.atsb.gov.au/media/5226233/197700003.pdf

M.V. Dayspring, or Corpach Wreck as she is better known broke her moorings in December 2011 and ran aground where she stands now. Although looking rather precarious perched as she is, she hasn't moved in the 8 years she has been here.
Thank you for any visits, invites, faves and comments, they are greatly appreciated.

This is a much photographed wreck in Scotland. The main reason is because you can usually see Ben Nevis in the background. Unfortunately you can only see the bottom of it, but i still like the shot. Next time, maybe.
The wreck of HMAS Gayundah at Woody Point, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. This ship was built at Newcastle upon Tyne, UK in 1884 for the Australian Navy & sailed to Australia to start its working life. Long exposure image.
Been wanting to get this wreck at night for ages, but never been brave enough to go on my own, and the tides/moon phases/clearness of the sky have never quite been right! Anyway, big thanks to Bladerunner2008 for keeping me company! He got a great shot of the wreck using the stacking method which cuts down on the noise and keeps the sky nice and dark. www.flickr.com/photos/35589108@N04/5651629643
Mine is a 54 minute exposure at f/4.5 iso 200. The noise was horrendous, must turn noise reduction on next time! :)
Wrecked during the first days of March 1897 when a howling south westerly gale swept up the Bristol Channel.
Many ships soon found themselves in distress, among them the Norwegian barque SS Nornen which had tried 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.
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. Down the ramp to her aid went the Burnham lifeboat, the John Godfrey Morris.
The lifeboat with its crew of ten oarsmen battled through high seas and winds to the SS Nornen.
The ship's crew of ten, together with their dog, were taken off by the lifeboat and landed safely at Burnham. The rescue is recorded on the honours board of rescues made by the three lifeboats at Burnham during the period from 1867 to 1930 and which today stands in the entrance to the Burnham RNLI Station.

Last year has been a roller coaster ride for many of us, but am hopeful that this year shall be filled with positivity. Take a moment and reflect on how you've come out of this year and am pretty sure you would be surprised.
What's left of a crane for a failed salvage operation to retrieve the SS Dominator a Greek freighter that ran ashore on Palos Verdes Point in 1961.
The wreck of the grounded Sovereign Fishing Vessel East of Fraserburgh at Cairn Bulg Point. North East Scotland.
This was a revisit for me as photographed this wreck many years ago. Its amazing to see how the structure has held up to the force's of time and tide.
It grounded just after midnight 18/12/05. No injuries.
The Plassey wreck on Inisheer
an image from my trip to Inisheer on saturday with Blackwater Photograpic Society in what can only be described as foul weather ,the ferry crossing was so bad we nearly saw fish out the window , luckily the wind was at our backs when we arrived at the wreck

We were passing by Corpach on our way to Mallaig so we stopped off to get some shots of this wreck.
I took the shot in the afternoon and even after being in the sun all day the shaded parts were still covered in frost.
The stunning backdrop to this wreck makes it very popular with photographers as a search on Flickr will prove.
History of the wreck.
The Corpach shipwreck is actually the rusting remains of a fishing vessel known as ‘MV Dayspring’. The 26 metre-long boat was built in 1975 and was used as a fishing boat, trawling the North Sea to catch herring and mackerel.
The ship was later re-named ‘Golden Harvest’. When the vessel’s skipper retired he sold Golden Harvest and she was shipped to Kilkeel in Northern Ireland where the boat continued a life of fishing.
In the early 2000’s Golden Harvest returned to Scotland and was moored at Kinlochleven Pier in Loch Leven until 2009, situated south-east of Fort William. The name Kinlochleven is Gaelic for ‘head’ of Loch Leven. The owners at the time had plans to convert the boat into a floating sea food restaurant but this never materialised.
The boat was now retired, increasing oil prices and a depletion of fish numbers contributing factors to this.
In 2009 the old fishing boat was moved to Camusnagaul Bay on Loch Linnhe, now under new ownership. In the year that followed, numerous repairs were done to the ship.
On 8th December 2011 a huge storm came in and the raiser chain which kept the vessel moored in Camusnagaul Bay failed. Golden Harvest was torn from its mooring. The local coastguard helped to control the landing of the vessel on the beach, between the villages of Corpach and Caol. Golden Harvest has lain there since, now an iconic landmark on the beach.
