“Some called it wicked, but she called it love. Unfortunately, her loves were rather short-lived.”

Today's #Mermay prompt, #Wicked, fits so well with my little Mermay's taste for sailors (which she happened to develop 2 years ago, around the prompt #Sailor) that I just couldn't resist...

An der Hopsnes-Küste tauchen im dichten Nebel alte Schiffswracks und ein einsamer Leuchtturm auf. Die Überreste der zahlreichen zerschellten Boote zeugen von den Herausforderungen des Lebens an der rauen Küste, wo das Meer oft unberechenbar ist. Im Nebel verstärkt sich das Gefühl von Einsamkeit und Zeitlosigkeit, das diesen Ort so besonders macht.

SS Empress of Ireland: Canada's Forgotten Titanic

In 1914, the SS Empress of Ireland sank in the St. Lawrence River after colliding with the Norwegian collier Storstad. Of the 1,477 people on board, 1,012 died, ⚓ Though less known, it remains one of Canada's worst peacetime maritime disasters. 🇨🇦 #Canada #EmpressOfIreland #MaritimeHistory #Shipwreck

In Island wurden 1986 diese beiden Walfangschiffe Hvalur 6 und Hvalur 7 von Sea Shepherd versenkt, um gegen Islands Fortsetzung des Walfangs trotz internationalem Moratorium zu protestieren. Die Schiffe wurden zwar geborgen, aber nie repariert und liegen jetzt rostend am Ufer neben der Walfangstation in der Bucht am Hvalfjörður. Diese Aktion traf die Walfangindustrie empfindlich und markierte einen Wendepunkt im öffentlichen Bewusstsein für den Schutz der Meerestiere.

The Mary D. Hume was launched in 1881 in Gold Beach Oregon—then known as Ellensburg. She spent decades hauling cargo, chasing whales, and serving as a tug in Alaskan waters. After her retirement in 1977, she returned home… only to sink eight years later.

I’ve walked past her many times, always hoping for the right moment. On this foggy October day, I brought my long-exposure gear and a vision: isolate the derelict, soften the water, let the mood take over. Though the fog didn’t fully obscure the jetty behind her, I removed the distractions in post to let her stand alone—weathered, skeletal, and silent.

Her rust, moss, and faded paint seemed too rich to render in black and white—at least for now.

The Mary D. Hume was built in 1881 in Gold Beach, Oregon, and served for nearly a century as a cargo vessel, whaler, tugboat, and more. After her retirement in 1977, she returned to Gold Beach and sank in 1985, where her remains still rest. I’ve seen her many times, but conditions never felt quite right for a photo—until this foggy October day. With a minimalist, atmospheric look in mind, I used a long exposure to soften the water and enhance the mist. The fog didn’t quite hide the jetty clutter behind her, so I cleaned it up in Photoshop to isolate the wreck. I kept the image in color for now—those mossy gunnels and faded paint really tell her story.
