both photos of were took by me and blended in photoshop, the wreck is in plymouth which nick kindly showed me the other night

A half sunk pleasure cruiser on the Grand Union Canal not far from Uxbridge. It looks like various fixtures and fittings might have been salvaged before hand onto the river bank. To be fair this isn't a common sight on the stretches of the Grand Union I've seen but is still a bit of an eyesore.

Wreck of the Norwegian barque SS Nornen. March 1897, the ship's crew of ten, together with their dog, were taken off by the lifeboat the John Godfrey Morris, launched from Burnham, and landed safely at three o'clock in the afternoon. 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.

Just as I was about to call it a day there was a dash of colour from the setting sun fading to my left, so I stayed and it paid off!

I'd love to know the history of this ol' wreck, presumably a fishing boat, once loved and cherished, now lying idol as a home for marine life.

One that I've been processing for a while now :) Quite often photographed shipwreck located between Arrecife and Costa Teguise in Lanzarote. Visited this place a few times during my little holliday until I've got what I wanted :) This was shot at a sunset during high tide and was a 180 second exposure. As always thank you all for looking and all the comments and constructive criticism are more than welcome as usual :)

Now known as The Corpach Wreck, the MV Dayspring ran aground near the Corpach Sea Lock in December 2011 after breaking her mooring during a storm. She triggered an air sea search in 2017 when her emergency beacon was triggered, even though she had lain on the beach for several years.

On a lonely, small, stony beach in Chañaral island I found the remnants of a wreck. It must have been a fishing boat around 15 meters long that probably succumbed to heavy seas from the north. It was badly damaged but this window frame was fairly well preserved "on the rocks".

Impossible to know if lives were lost in this shipwreck, but I think everyone on board must have made it to safe ground because the cliff isn't hard to climb and the island is not far from the continent.

Homebush Bay wrecks, well 1 of them anyway. This is a reworking of an older pic, just wanted to give it the topaz treatment, see how it worked out. cheers

Walking along the shore enjoying the turquoise water we came across this wreck. Naturally, I had to shoot it until the clouds were right and the angle was right.

Funny thing behind me was the Cozumel cultural museum. Across the lobby was a Greek restaurant called Mykonos. No way was I not having a Mexican lunch. Greek food can wait. The locals seemed to really like it as it was full.

A wonderful boat wreck

The Fleetwood Wrecks are a group of old boats abandoned on Fleetwood marshes, which are slowly rotting away. It is possible to walk up to them, but wellingtons are definitely required in the winter months when the ground can become extremely boggy. Care is also required at high tide as there are some deep channels on the marshes.

Yesterday morning as it was high tide at Fleetwood, I had a ride out to the fishing wrecks to see if I could capture anything.

A wreck resting on Truro River.

This morning was grey and overcast. The light was flat and uninspiring. I had to work much harder to take a decent photo, but the benefit of the overcast sky were that conditions were constant for hours - not just a fleeting moment as the sun came up.

I first stopped at Kennall Vale - but uninspired there, I didn't take a single photo. Next I visited a woods close to my home that I've never been to before (pic to follow!)

Then, I remembered noticing this characterful boat tied up on Truro River while driving for work last week - so that's where I headed!

I envisaged a minimal shot in high contrast Black & White. I tried a higher vantage point to angle the camera down at the boat to eliminate the messy river bank opposite - which didn't really work. This lower angle was more natural, but left me more to do in post editing!

A 10 stop neutral density filter allowed me to extend the exposure time to 90 seconds in order to smooth our the water for a minimal shot. I faded out the opposing bank in post to give the appearance of mist and further simplify the image.

Slipped her moorings somewhere and ended up on the hard Lytham beach.

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

Explore #23 - now dropped.

I was out for a walk yesterday evening in this rarely visited forest when I stumbled across this wrecked car. In the vicinity there was a vehicle ramp and a very small shed. It would appear that someone had been using this as some sort of outdoor garage which is most strange. The light was diminishing fast so I was lucky enough to get this shot, happy days

So... you know it had to happen... It's no secret I like putting animals in mechs and when Hammond was first announced many had though I actually worked for blizzard....

Sadly this doesn't actually roll up into a ball :(

... trust me I tried...

I visited this wreck in Wrabness Essex 3 years ago and took a series of images i was very happy with at the time, they were very dark and moody with heavy overcast clouds. I vowed to return one day and try and capture a sunrise image that would do this scene justice. Well i'm so happy to have captured this amazing sunrise with the wreck looking glorious in the golden light. Sometimes all the cosmic tumblers fall into place for one precious moment of photographic joy. This is x5 shot HDR image @f11 with a 0.6 medium grad filter. This image will definitely be on next years calendar for sure.

Here's a colour version of my shot of the RMS Mulheim wreck posted a little while back! I'd be interested to hear which you prefer!

A LITTLE ABOUT THE MULHEIM WRECK...

German cargo ship, the RMS Mulheim, carrying scrap car plastic ran aground in March 2003. Investigations revealed that the chief officer on watch at the time had caught his trousers in the lever of his chair when trying to get up, causing him to fall and rendering him unconscious. By the time he regained consciousness, RMS Mülheim was bearing down on the shoreline. The six-man Polish crew were airlifted to safety by a search and rescue helicopter from RNAS Culdrose. On 7 October 2003, in heavy seas, the ship was broken into two pieces. On 31 October 2003, the swells pushed half of the wreck into a rocky inlet called Castle Zawn where it now rests.

In my previous photo today I mentioned that this wreck is actually the "Pon Rabbel II", a dredge that was used to clear the Tamar River of silt from the 1920s to the 1960s. The fire in 1979 seemed to have put an end to any serious revival of the Port of Launceston, and this wreck has remained here ever since. www.dredgepoint.org/dredging-database/equipment/ponrabbel-ii

I was delighted to find a Facebook group dedicated to some of this history and I'll give you a few outlines from their findings: www.facebook.com/pg/ponrabble/posts/

"The Ponrabbel operated as a steam 'bucket dredge' in the Tamar River from the 1920s until the 1960s. The Port of Launceston authority was determined that as many ships as possible should berth at wharves close to the city centre." This changed once the decision was made to move the cargo berthing to Bell Bay where the Tamar is much wider and deeper so it can accommodate modern cargo ships.

"The Ponrabbel was used to dredge the channel near Launceston to facilitate shipping access. As larger ships were brought into the Tamar some strategic rocks in the Tamar were blasted and removed by the Ponrabbel to improve navigation. She was also used in the building of the Bell Bay berthing facilities. Albeit that commercial shipping barely persists in the upper reaches of the Tamar, the silting of the estuary 'interferes' with the waterway's aesthetics and its recreational 'utility' – and is thus seen as tourism detractor and simultaneously as evidence of environmental degradation."

In any case this wreck is now part of the "visual furniture" of this part of Launceston. And those rusty tones do look good against the green reeds and the hills of Trevallyn on the other side of the river.

The Tibbetts, formerly known as Russian frigate #356, rests on the bottom off the island of Cayman Brac, in the Caribbean. Nice wreck dive.
