A Link With the Past by Michael John
These big old rusty linked chains were found while walking on a sandstone rock platform near the beach.
They originated on a boat, possibly as part of the anchor’s chain, and were washed up onto rocks following the wreck of the SS Minmi in 1937.
Botany Bay National Park, La Perouse, NSW, Australia.
Canon 400D, as is.

Nice one. I love the weathered look of the metal. I’ve got a good shot of some bloke almost giving himself a hernia trying to lift this chain.
Thanks. Yes, it is very heavy – I know – I tried to lift it!

Thanks Bev. Ok, that it interesting. There must be pieces of it scattered around everywhere.
