Gone, one shipwreck



Another installment in our ongoing "Gone" series of images of structures, ship wrecks and other stuff that are no longer around - the Cherry Venture, blown ashore north of Noosa during big seas, very big seas going by the size of the human at the bow. Futile attempts to refloat were followed by removal of the salvageable machinery and then left on the beach as a tourist attraction until the briney air rusted it to a point of becoming a public safety hazard. Now gone (except on celluloid)
Summer 1975

  1. I have painted this before, bow on from my old slides. This looks a good view. Do I have your permission to paint this image?
    Thank you
