Where can I find good shipwreck photos?
Posted by COOKDUDE on Wednesday, August 4, 2010 3:40 PM

I'm building Lindberg's Jolly Roger into a shipwreck, and I'm having a hard time finding good photos of old shipwrecks that are still mostly intact, any advice will be appreciated!!

Check this one out as well. It's put together by the sea hunters (Clive Cussler etc.)

Duster has a point! However, many years ago I lived near Lands End in the UK, an area notorious for shipwrecks, even to this day but especially during the age of sail. I knew a guy called Clive Carter who owned a large collection of early photo’s of shipwrecks in that region. He eventually published a lot of them in a book about 40 years ago. I did own a copy of his book, now long gone, but I remember it well because I found it very sad looking at those pictures.

Out of curiosity, I just checked ebay and, sure enough, there is a copy listed! Worth a couple of bucks if you can get it.

Good luck.

Google Hesper and Luther Little . They are a pair of four masted schooners that were "laid up" in Wiscasset, Me. While not "wrecks", they show the effects of abandonment, and weather, that would be part of an above water wreck.

Lead me not into temptation ..................I can find it myself
