In Memoria of The Sunken Boat

As soon as you posted the sepia challenge I knew I had to share the sad story of this wrecked boat. It has hung out in Tamales Bay for years and was often photographed in its place on private land behind a restaurant. I had worked hard on this a few years ago to give this moment the “antique escape a sinking boat look” This week I heard someone burned it up to make a YouTube.So sad, but so glad I have this image.

This old machine stand safe on Point Reyes National Sea Shore Land.

I heard the same news about this boat, that it had been destroyed. But supposedly it was an accident as the photographer was trying a night time effect of burning steel wool. I do hope he is penalized at least by having to pay for the removal of the waste. That’s just stupidity!

I saw a second of the video on the news, yes they were going for an effect but the affect was still destruction. This makes our photos of it even more poignant.. I’ll have to get up there soon and find out if they got fined or cleaned it up. I hope you have some good images of that relic.

No, I’ve never been there. But I had seen it enough on wordpress and facebook that I had it on my list. I guess that idiot learned too late not to play with fire.

I hope the learned not to play with fire. There are a lot of grown men who still have never learned. May they wake up before it is too late for more then a boat

Grown man is an oxymoron if you ask my wife!

Beautiful tones, Carol. Reminds me of the boat that sat a little listed to the side for several years right where we windsurf on Sherman Island. Sat for years, then one day…gone!

Nice story. I guess that is the way of old boats. They just drift away!!!
