Scuttled Down East

I found this while exploring one of the islands near my home. I think that it is a wooden tugboat or tender, possibly from nearby East Boothbay. It had been intentionally sunk to serve as the breakwater for a small lobster pound, now abandoned, most likely in the thirties. It don't think it will last much longer, as it seemed to be in pretty rough shape when I checked it after the Patriot's Day storm.






So, there you have it. Nothing to sell the farm over, but still not something you see every day.

(And yes, I tried using the gallery tags. No go.)

Definitely a nice find. Beautiful scenery, and what looks to be a really peaceful area. I'd love to just hang around there and relax for a while. Easy on the eyes, easy on the mind.

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop...

Those are good photos, and it looks like a pretty nice area.
