SS Dicky Exposed
Rough seas in 1893 washed the “SS Dicky” ashore, and like an iceberg, is mostly covered by sand these days. After several days of rough seas again the last few days, most of that sand has been washed away, and she is exposed again.
This photo taken about the middle of an incoming tide, the seas were 5 metres (about 15 feet). My lens got a nice soaking during this shoot, and I almost lost my footing (and camera) to the swell..

Fantastic! The thumbnail caught my attention as it suggested Jules Verne’s submarine, Nemo’s Nautilus, breaking through polar ice in 20’00 Leagues under the Sea.
I’m glad you braved the elements to get this shot. Do go on, safely!
