Jagged rocks at the eastern end of Breaker Bay on a winter morning. Definitely enough to break any ship that strayed onto them.
Breakers along the shore of Gulf Shores Alabama are fallen down and half covered with sand from strong storms coming in from the Gulf of Mexico.The skies are dark as another storm approaches from out in the Gulf.
The Breakers, 138,000 square feet of opulence, built as a summer home for Cornelius Vanderbilt II.
It was constructed in only two years.
Rather sad to see this 53 Plate C15 here.It had 74,000 on the clock and appeared both straight and virtually rust free.
Difficult to believe there would have been anything seriously wrong with it,but it's a vehicle of little monetary value,so now it's gone.
The Breakers is a Vanderbilt mansion located on Ochre Point Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island, United States on the Atlantic Ocean. It is a National Historic Landmark, a contributing property to the Bellevue Avenue Historic District, and is owned and operated by the Preservation Society of Newport County.
The Breakers was built as the Newport summer home of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, a member of the wealthy United States Vanderbilt family. Designed by renowned architect Richard Morris Hunt and with interior decoration by Jules Allard and Sons and Ogden Codman, Jr., the 70-room mansion boasts approximately 65,000 sq ft (6,000 m2). of living space. The home was constructed between 1893 and 1895 at a cost of more than $7 million (approximately $150 million in today's dollars adjusted for inflation). The Ochre Point Avenue entrance is marked by sculpted iron gates and 30-foot (9.1 m) high walkway gates are part of a 12-foot-high limestone and iron fence that borders the property on all but the ocean side. The 250' x 120' dimensions of the five-story mansion are aligned symmetrically around a central Great Hall.
Part of a 13-acre (53,000 m²) estate on the seagirt cliffs of Newport, it sits in a commanding position that faces east overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
