Boat Graveyard by swillinbillyflynn

Boat Graveyard

The road between Truro and Mallpas runs along the side of a stretch of river where dozens of boats seem to have been abandoned. They are in various states of disrepair and decay. It's quite sad really as many of them look like fine old wooden vessels. This one caught my eye but I will no doubt be returning in the coming weeks for further exploration as they provide a wealth of photographic opportunities for someone like me who appreciates a nice bit of dereliction.
Theres loads on the river torridge in a worse state than that

What a great shot. It looks like there's a picture on the hull below the waterline.

Love this... there is a nice curve of the river on the left, your POV is super and the touch of "dereliction" is delicious. :)

really cool. I'll bet this boat could tell some stories. If, of course, boats could talk... Which would be kind of creepy.
