The Wreck of the Mary Ann.

She was a brig out of Grennock and loaded with Wines and Spirits when wrecked in heavy gales on the 22 May 1859,

I respectfully ask you to view large,

The pip shows the same wreck in 2016,

Superb image Roger, since 2016 has the wreck been washed away or is it covered over with fresh silt?

Not heard the music before and very easy to listen to.

Thanks Maurice. The sand moves around depending on weather and tides. Every visit It's at differing levels.

Wow, that's powerful and looks fantastic on the big screen. (like the pip too.)

It's an interesting version of this song. Very different but so good too. A great combination, Roger. :)

A great image, Roger. The sand certainly has accumulated since the previous year. A good link too.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to tiabunna ^club

Many thanks George, I think the fact that it's covered most of the time has helped preserve it,
Last was luckier than normal,
Rather like Jefferson Airplane.

Der Zahn der Zeit,
Der Wind, die Wellen und die Temperaturen nagen an den Resten des Warcks, Roger,
eine fantastische Weite,
sie verrät von der Sehnsucht der Trümmer,
die gerne noch die Meere bereist hätten,
freundliche Grüße und sonnige Stunden,
Erich

I love the location and your photo is so beautiful. This has to be one of best places on Islay. I was surprised at just how little was left showing of this wreck. An excellent shot and a great musical link Roger
