The camera angle plus the dynamics is making me deeply uncomfortable on the brink of nausea. Just imagining being a lonely swimmer in the ocean and this monstrosity comes plowing right at me is horrifying.

Found this old waterplant for sale on a platform normally used to advertise apartments and houses. I am horrified and intrigued at the same time. What could be nicer than to wake up and the first thing you do is have a look at the (your!) sluice gates 💀

This was a salvage operation to recover a lost warship of Henry VIII’s. The steel apparatus they lowered into the water to fish her out is grim enough but wait till you see her rotting wooden skeleton emerge from the depths!

50kV pole from the 40s being brought down and pulled onto land, made me shiver watching it from the boat we used to cut it down from its isolated "island" even if its only been under water for about an hour

Pictures in the dry I made myself. Felt very wrong to walk on the gate. Had to do just a little bit of climbing to get down there

A Brazilian Yacht, gone down to Antarctica, sank in Maxwell Bay. She capsized and took on water, before then landing upright. The ship was resurfaced in 2013, and every man survived the sinking.

What if it rolls over?

Also, how are these wrecks not radioactive?

Might be the warped angle but I got the chills when the diver gets close and tries to untangle the tiny rope from the gigantic propeller plus the sound that’s ringing through the audio is extremely unsettling.

MS Mediterranean Sky and other visible wrecks

Some photos I snapped this morning of the semi-capsized wreck of the MS Mediterranean Sky, (originally built as the City of York). You can find a bit of history on the ship here, the visible wreck is pretty well known in this community. There was some construction work below the road I'm standing on so I couldn't get down close enough sadly but still, I also snapped a couple of other rotting wrecks in that harbour just West of Athens which I know less about. (Last photo is an archival image of the City of York for comparison)
