  1. 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.

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

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

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