Shipwreck in the Sand.

Shipwreck in the Sand.
Kilchoman sands, Machir Bay, Islay, Reputed to be the wreck of a brig called the MARY ANN of Greenock which was wrecked on the Kilchoman strand in heavy gales, 22 May 1859, The brig was loaded with wines and spirits. folklore says there were scenes of looting, and a good number of cases of whisky were drunk in a very short time,
Islay's version of Whisky Galore I guess.

Thank you Jeff, B&W was the best option as the white sand and the bright sun bleached out most of the colour.

Interesante historia del saqueo de la embarcación naufragada, tratándose de whisky le da mas glamour al asunto, ja ja ja. Son las viejas historias del mar. Gran foto. Existen en el norte de España varios arenales con embarcaciones enterradas en la arena que muestran elementos de las cuadernas del casco. El mar trae y lleva las arenas y lo muestra mas o menos. Gran foto amigo Roger. Mi mas cordial saludo. Eduardo.

Thank you Eduardo, wrecks make good photo opportunities but how much is visible at any time is very dependent on the tides.

Indeed it has Bev, at times it's almost buried at other times more than this is visible, this coast has very strong tides.
