  Nice photo but it is truly a sad sight. Hopefully in the not too distant future she will be salvaged.

  I totally agree.
  I was lucky enough to take pictures of it two years ago during the waterford tall ships, and it was a truly magnificent ship.

  Is it possible to get closer to the wreck at the moment?

  Yes it is probably possible to get closer , but not without taking serious risks.
  Personally, i wouldn’t advise it .

  Nicely shot, but a sad sight to look at. I like how the whites in the water blend in with the whites of the sails & ship and contrast with the darker areas in the scene, giving the impression of the life being dragged away from the ship. Well done

  Hi Philippe,

  A dramatic scene and, as has been said, a sad one.

  At least there was no loss of life.

  Cheers,

  John.
