It's too bad about the shipwreck but what a great subject for plein air painters. Beautiful work and a real feeling for the place!

Donna, I think it's really just a stranded beached fishing boat. No likely tragedy here originally. It's been sitting there mellowing for many years. People appear to come from all around to take pix. When we were there not only were some tourists from different Asian groups there, but a family set up a tableau for a first birthday picture for a little girl!
