I must admit I hadn't thought of it that way – seeing it in person I was just so enthralled by the fact it had been preserved like that, I didn't really consider how it had come to be there in the first place!
Not much closer than the photo shows as the ground was too soft unfortunately – that said I think Ben would have climbed all over it had we got closer!
Oh wow! This looks a bit sad but so amazing to look at X

Such an interesting photo – so sad to see the ruined boat but it makes you wonder whether there is a story that goes with it.
Yes, unfortunately I can't find out what happened.
Now I want to know more about this shipwreck!
Wow, this is amazing, I'd love to know the stories behind this.
Me too! Unfortunately I've not managed to find any information about it yet.
A proper ship wreck, did you get up close?

What a cool shipwreck!
What a great shot Colette x
Wow finding a shipwreck is pretty cool! x
I'd seen it from the main road a few times and was so excited to be find it and take a proper look!
What an amazing photo – makes you want to go and explore it!
Definitely! Ben was so keen to climb aboard – which clearly we couldn't let him do!
Great pic. Wrecked boats always feel a bit creepy to me. This almost looks like it could be something from Pirates of the Caribbean
Yes I know what you mean. Ben was convinced it was a pirate ship.
That’s an exciting looking shipwreck. Was there gold?
I shouldn't think so – how cool if there had been though 😉
Ooh I do love a boat wreck – such great textures.
I'd never seen anything like it before – I loved that it had just been left there.
OOo how awesome, love to know the story behind it
Thank you for linking up
That is so sad to look at but finding a shipwreck is so cool x
You found a *shipwreck*?! I'm officially jealous. Would love to know the story behind this wreck, I hope it isn't half as sad as it first seems.
Pretty cool isn't it!
What a brilliant find for a photo, love it! 🙂
I'd have loved to have spent some time getting a bit closer and photographing details but the ground was too wet.
Wow, he's looking a bit sorry for himself now but I bet he could tell a few stories about his days at sea
Wow. A real live shipwreck.
This is gorgeous, I want to know where it is!
Benodet, Brittany x
Oops! I wonder what the story behind this is, great capture #MySundayphoto
I've had a good google but to no avail.
This is a stunning picture and looks like it has a wonderful story!
lovely photo, it would be great to revisit every year and see how it is decaying
What a cool picture. Wonder how it ended up there?
Wow, that's just screaming 'explore me', isn't it? Amazing photo. #mysundayphoto
Absolutely. I really wish we could have!
So dramatic and poetic!
i really like this photo. it looks kind of sad but also very moving. someone lost their precious boat:(
Beauty in dereliction. I wonder what stories this old boat could tell us.
I bet that boat has some stories to tell. A great composition. #mysundayphoto
What a great find, Colette! Seriously a cool shot of a shipwreck. Like the others, I'd love to know the story behind it. xx
