Dereliction.....

.......this poor old boat has been rotting away for years. About 5 years ago an owner started to do something about it.....however (as you can see) he did not get very far ! I guess it will slowly totally fade into the mud and wash away with the tide......sad end for what once would have been a lovely old boat.

Aw shame, it makes for a lovely shot though.

Always sad to see.

Great shot with the reflection and the boats in the background.
It definitely looks like it has seen better days.

I reckon the ladder would be of use?? Lovely cloud reflections

Sad, but I love a bit of dereliction - I see quite a few old half-sunk houseboats on the Lea Navigation.
