The Good Hope rests at Skippool Creek, Poulton Le Fylde near Blackpool.
Over the years many people have tried to restore it but despite this, the ‘old girl’ is slowly rotting away.

A real beauty here mate, well done..
Thanks Jason, had real problems with noise in the black bow area (need to get the exposures sorted more). But as a HDR ‘virgin’ I’m fairly pleased with the end results.

Thank Lilian, one of my two favourite local haunts, the Creek and the Wrecks.
Super image with great POV
Thanks Peter, the jetty was a bit of a challenge, in fact I think it was in a worse state of repair than the boat!
