So Sad but Beautiful

[John Albert Evans]

This is a haunting image of the Brazilian 76' scientific and educational boat "Mar Sem Fin" which sunk on 12th April 2012 in Ardley Bay, Antartica. Thankfully all hands were evacuated safely.
What a stunning picture.

Indeed John stunning and as you say, very sad. I wonder why she was never salvaged, water to cold !!

Have any of you ever seen the amazing footage of Shackleton's vessel breaking up, masts collapsing ever so slowly taken by the amazing Aus photographer/film maker whose name I should know? If you can get a hold of it on the net do, just spectacular. He went on to fame as a war photographer in WW1, he had twin daughters who a few years ago went to Elephant Island. They made a doco on them I think they were close to 100 years old then.
