Cement Ship and Sail Boat

I also went over to Sunset Beach, where I caught this sailboat going by the "remains of the S.S. Atlantus, one of twelve experimental ships built of concrete during the First World War" http://www.concreteships.org/

Beautiful capture, Harry. Love the crispiness of the shot and the colours. Before I magnified the picture, I thought the wreck was a whale.

Cool capture

@sangwann Thank you Dione, now that you mention it, it does look like a whale
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, the wind was strong and the sailboat was moving at a good clip

The thumbnail either makes this look like a whale or a shark breaching out to land on the back of the sailboat.

Interesting that those boats are just out there like that. Did they sink them to create artificial reefs?

@webfoot Thank you Paul, they did sink it to create an artificial reef, they sank another one in Galveston, Texas
