📷 Last Harbourage

Old ships have different endings. Some sink (or are deliberately sunk) and rust on the seabed for years, delighting curious divers or just fish. Some are disassembled, cut into pieces in civilized conditions at the docks or in rather wild conditions, and their metal goes to the smelter. Some, the most remarkable, become official museum exhibits and at the same time museums themselves: they are kept afloat near the shore, they are taken care of their appearance and interior, and there are excursions inside them, but they will not be able to sail anywhere.

And some, like this ship, are suddenly washed ashore by the will of the wind and waves and remain on the beach. This happens when repairing and refloating a ship or hiring workers to disassemble it turns out to be unprofitable for the shipowner, and at the same time, local residents, for some reason, also do not cut it on their own into useful or worthwhile parts. Such ships become a kind of unofficial open-air museum exhibits: without much care and attention from people, but also without much damage. They simply find their last refuge, last harbourage on land, and gradually become an additional point of attraction for locals and tourists. And for photographers, of course :)

It's better to watch the photo in high resolution.
