Ghost Ship
The Ryde Queen paddle steamer was built in 1936, she operated a ferry service between Portsmouth and The Isle of Wight.
Withdrawn from service in 1970, she opened as a night club at Binfield on The Isle of Wight, this is where I would spend most of my Saturday nights in my teenage years.
Abandoned now she still remains on this spot slowly rotting away.
Since taking this photo her funnel has collapsed.

The shot is so very fine, yet, as I read the story of time and collapse it just explodes with value.
