Shipwreck

This past Sunday we came across the skeleton of a fairly large shipping vesel sitting right on the beach. I promise to keep this post free of comments about post-industrial decay.





Once inside, you notice that it's just a shell with various holes on the floor and on its side. My friend's silhouette in the backgroung should give an idea of scale. As the waves pound the side of the ship on the left, water rushes in and up from the holes on the floor.





The wave you see rushing in almost soaked my camera as I was trying to keep from slipping into what would certainly be an unpleasant experience.



This is taken in what use to be the engine room. For some scale, the holes in the gear are approximately 8 inches in diameter. I heart gears.
