The cloud reminded me a spacecraft. After showing the photo to my son, we both agreed it looked a bit like Star Trek's Enterprise.

The wreck of steam ship "SS Amadeo" at the abandoned Estancia San Gregorio - Strait of Magellan, Patagonia
Port side view of the wreck of the SS Amadeo.
The steam transport ship SS Amadeo, or at least what is left of it. Built in 1892, she was deliberately grounded in 1932 off the beach in San Gregorio, at the southern tip of Chile. Since then she has rusted away to the state shown here.
The SS Bigwin is the last remaining steamship of the original fleet from the early 1900′s when the world’s elite travelled to the Muskoka Lakes (Ontario, Canada). There is a long history about the ship and since 2014 it became a public and private cruise ship on Lake of Bays.
I like the outcome of this photo, the lower clouds look like snow covered mountains :)
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
The S S Great Briatin. The ship that changed the world. Designed and built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Now restored in Bristol Harbour.
SS Delphine (1921), the ship that Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin reputedly met on to prepare the Yalta Convention at the close of World War II.
While en route to Florida from New Orleans, I just happened t9 stumble upon the SS United States parked at the former site of Alabama Drydock and Shipbuilding awaiting her disposition.
Launched in 1951 at Newport News, she measured 990 feet in length, just a hundred feet longer than the Titanic. She made her maiden voyage in 1952 shattering the trans-Atlantic speed record in both directions, a distinction she holds to this day.
Airlines ultimately wiped out the ocean liner industry in the 1960s. The ship was pulled from service in 1969 as its owner, United States Lines, faced severe financial difficulties. Over the course of three decades, she was moved from one location to the other going through several different owners. She was moved to Philadelphia in 1996 where she remained for another three decades before being moved here to Mobile last winter. Ultimately, she will be scuttled off the coast of Florida and turned into an artificial reef.

Built in 1907 and has an interior that is very similar to the style that the Titanic was finished in. Hope that this will open once again for tours so that I can see the inside.
Thank you all for visiting and commenting. Explored #2
I have been wanting to visit and take a pic of this old Shipwreck for a while. After checking the tide and sunset times I took a chance on the weather breaking for a couple of hours, it did.

When the tide goes out at Berrow, near Burnham-On-Sea UK, the bones of a long dead ship, the Norwegian barque SS Nornen stick out of the sands as a stark reminder of a savage gale and a gallant rescue at the end of the last century.

SS Great Britain is a museum ship and former passenger steamship, which was advanced for her time. She was the longest passenger ship in the world from 1845 to 1854. She was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Great Western Steamship Company's transatlantic service between Bristol and New York. While other ships had been built of iron or equipped with a screw propeller, Great Britain was the first to combine these features in a large ocean-going ship. She was the first iron steamer to cross the Atlantic, which she did in 1845, in the time of 14 days.
The ship is 322 ft (98 m) in length and has a 3,400-ton displacement. She was powered by two inclined 2 cylinder engines of the direct-acting type, with twin 88 in (220 cm) bore, 6-foot (1.8 m) stroke cylinders. She was also provided with secondary sail power. The four decks provided accommodation for a crew of 120, plus 360 passengers who were provided with cabins and dining and promenade saloons.
When launched in 1843, Great Britain was by far the largest vessel afloat. However, her protracted construction and high cost had left her owners in a difficult financial position, and they were forced out of business in 1846 having spent all their funds re-floating the ship after she was run aground at Dundrum Bay after a navigational error. In 1852 she was sold for salvage and repaired. Great Britain carried thousands of immigrants to Australia from 1852 until converted to sail in 1881. Three years later, she was retired to the Falkland Islands where she was used as a warehouse, quarantine ship and coal hulk until scuttled in 1937.[2]
In 1970, following a cash donation by Sir Jack Hayward that paid for the vessel to be towed back to the UK, Great Britain was returned to the Bristol dry dock where she was built. Now listed as part of the National Historic Fleet, she is an award-winning visitor attraction and museum ship in Bristol Harbour, with between 150,000 and 200,000 visitors annually.

The fifth SS Rotterdam, also known as "The Grande Dame", is a former ocean liner and cruise ship, and has been a hotel ship in Rotterdam, Netherlands since 2010. She was launched by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands in a gala ceremony on 13 September 1958, and was completed the following summer.
The Rotterdam was the last great Dutch "ship of state", employing the finest artisans from the Netherlands in her construction and fitting out process. Her career spanned forty-one years. She sailed from 1959 until her final retirement in September 2000.
