Adolphe

I am posting early today because we are out at the theatre this afternoon in Newcastle and then out for dinner this evening.

This is a photo taken last Thursday while out with the walking group.

The Adolphe is one of the many wrecks in this area. It came to its watery end in 1904. It now sits at the end of the breakwater in Stockton.

If anyone is interested here is a link.

I see the shape of the ship now, but at first I was trying to turn this into a veterans memorial of some sort.
