That's a tad depressing, huh? Makes me want to get out there and shore the thing up. :-)

A wonderful picture of a tragic subject. You have to ask yourself why nobody sees the importance of preserving these venerable vessels: it's horrendously expensive though, I suppose.

It's like it knew it reached its prime and just gave up and started to slowly lay to rest.
Very touching scenes.

This vessel is done sinking in the water. Now it's sinking into the mud.

The part of the boat that is above the water looks safe enough to explore. If I could explore the boat I would.

as a navy vet of 27 yrs service its sad to see a ship dead like that a ship has a life of its own when crewed but these are touching photos.
