Now for a change of pace, I'll go from ships to wrecks. Here's the sad remains of the Morro Castle.

The Oceanos sinking just off the Southern Africa. I still have a Reader's Digest that features the story of the sinking.

She was a hospital ship in WW1 in 1916. Britannic departed England on her 6th voyage, heading into the war zone to pick up more sick and wounded soldiers. She only made it to the island of Kea, when she was rocked by an explosion. Captain Bartlett immediately turned Britannic towards Kea, trying to beach the ship. Unfortunatly, at that same time, lifeboats were being lowered into the water. At least 2 boats were drawn into the still turning propellers, resulting in 30 people being lost. Britannic lies in about 400 ft of water.

Hey thanks, dancing on titanic. I still got more "ship" pictures left to go as well as a few more "wreck" pictures ("ship"- is a picture- photo or painting- of the ship as it sails. "wreck"- is a picture of the ship as it lays on the ocean floor). Most of what I have are ship pictures. I prefer to remember these "grand ladies of the sea" as they were, but I have gotten some wreck photos. I only get a "wreck" pic if the ship is still recognizable, and the image is sharp and clean (not fuzzy).

I've put this in a different topic, but I don't remember which one. So here it is again. The Andrea Doria, then and now.
