Propeller on Viðey Island

Another shot from Viðey Island, Iceland. The two most known marine accidents, and still alive in the memory of Icelanders, are those of cutter Ingvar who ran ashore at Hjallasker on 7th April 1906 and when the Canadian destroyer Skeena was wrecked off Videy. This propeller is from the Canadian destroyer.

Thanks for all the looksies, comments and Favs. I appreciate them more than I can say.

Stay safe and wear a mask.
Wow, cool shot and interesting history.

A nice look. The treatment really gives this scene a unique atmosphere. Well worth the wait to catch the birds in the background.

Very interesting that it is still there. Do you mind if I share this photo with a friend of mine who has a great interest in military history

Great capture. It's strange - the propeller looks almost flower like to me

@bkbinthecity oh good! We read about the Canadian shipwreck while in Iceland. It was a very interesting story of survival and rescue. Happened, if I remeber correctly, during WWll.
