SS Atlantus by swchappell

SS Atlantus

Cold and snowy? Must be a good day for a trip to the beach. The SS Atlantus is a sunken concrete ship visible from Sunset Beach,in Cape May, NJ.
Great in B&W

Haha- sounds like a good day for the sand and surf to me! Wow- I don't remember the Concrete Ship sticking that far up out of the water but it's been 2 years since we were there. Maybe it's been upended by a few storms. Great shot in B & W!

Is it a ship made of concrete or was it carrying concrete. Either way it is a great image.

We have similar sunken vessels close to where we live from WW11.

@pdulis Cape May has a ton of history, and this ship is just a little part of it. Thank you!
@johnfalconer I believe it was made of concrete, which sounds weird but there it is. Thank you!
@wakelys There are not many you can easily find here, but this one is a favorite photography spot for me. Thank you!
@kvphoto Lol, yeah right. Thank you!
@hjbenson Yes, it was so cold I kind of felt bad for them. Thank you!
@linnypinny Thank you!
@paintdipper Thank you!
