A magnificent photo Jane – beautiful tonality. Even though it’s now a shipwreck I think this fine vessel still looks elegant.

Hi Simon, Thank you very much. This grand dame is still hanging on and I love her. The light was special that day making for a nice monochrome conversion. I’m happy you like it coming from your keen eye.

I love abandoned pictures although the fact things are abandoned makes me sad. Do you follow abandoned on instagram? Sound cool pics there, too.

Googled this to see it in color and I think your conversion to black and white was a great choice. In color it is interesting, one was at sunset and quite beautiful, but I like the mood that accompanies this old wreck in monochrome.
I’ve seen a lot of steel wool on fire shots and don’t care for them either. Not a fan of fads such as this or rock stacking. But to do that on an old dried out wooden wreck was insane. Glad it survived that.

HI Steve, I’m happy you like the monochrome conversion. The clouds and varying light made it work for me. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I think social media has sparked some crazy behavior to “get the shot”.

I see from Atlas Obscura that photographers kept this wreck of a boat from being removed:

You are correct, Steve. And thankfully, was spared again when some thoughtless photographers set her stern on fire by trying to photograph burning steel wool. A fad I never liked and was crazy to do on an old wooden boat.

Excellent shot, Allan. Hopefully she stands tall for a long time to come. 🙂

I hope so. A couple of years ago it almost burned down because of a time-lapse photographer and his ill-fated attempt to capture a photo of someone spinning a bundle of flaming steel wool at night.

Thanks, Adam. She does but is slowly slipping away. I’m with you- I love her. Sadly, a couple of years ago, some idiot tried to do one of those steel wool fire shots and burned the back half. I’m glad you enjoyed this image– it makes me smile.
