    I'd read about this somewhere, but had never seen a picture till now. There used to be an old wreck on the beach at Hunstanton in Norfolk when I was a child, but most of it has disappeared now.

    It is sad to see the wrecks. Who knows how many adventures it lived!

    Not too seaworthy at present!

    Completely seaworthy it seems to me no longer unless it is not of eddie but of the flying hollander.

    It's good they could make art out of it once it got to shore. Very cool ship bones. Awesome photography!

    That boat has its charm in the context of the beach and that beautiful landscape. Beautiful photos.
    Have a nice weekend.

    I'm surprised people are climbing on the wrecked boat. Guess they try their footing first before stepping!

    Um fantástico achado, que proporcionou excelentes imagens!
    Ficamos a pensar no que teria ocorrido na última viagem deste barco...
    Bom tê-lo de volta, Bill! Um grande abraço!

    Interesting how this was left on the beach to decay.

    The problems wth this ship should buff right out, no problem. Your photos have wonderful texture, and someone decorated it with the hearts.

    Lovely header photo Bill.
    Those houses have a good view and the poor boat but it seems it's used by many at times.
