Shipwreck

It was low tide on the Mersey River and the shipwreck was nicely exposed:

The G. Ward Cole, an Iron twin-screw steam dredge, 431/196 tons. # 95976, built in Renfrew, Scotland, 1889; reg. Melbourne 19/1890. Lbd 146.5 x 32.2 x 11.3 ft. Captain F. M. Calvert. This boat parted from her cables in a heavy squall and grounded on the Mersey River breakwater, Tasmania, 29 October 1930. Damaged beyond economical repair, dismantled and abandoned. The full length of the lower hull can still be seen at low water....

I was meant to go for a hike with friends and said I'd meet them at 730am at The Big Apple... So when I showed up at 830am... Duh! So I went for a paddle. Was very low tide and a nice breeze blowing. Reasonable rollers out of the river too, so I did not dare paddle out to the bluff. I did not have my skirt on either and i was a little frisky in my T-shirt, vest and wet pants!
