Ship Graveyard, drone photo bomb

cheezstake · Apr 4, 2020

Short flight of a ship graveyard, ended up seeing another mavic flying, if you pause the video at :02 and look between the A and R you will see it. My girlfriend saw it while she was being my spotter, and let me tell you it is incredibly hard to see another drone while in flight. I ended up landing shortly after, didn't want to risk a collision over water.

Crowded skies...

Precautionary landing was a good call.

Looked like the light grey of a mini ?
Yes, best to not chance it staying aloft.

Ships graveyards are a great subject.
That vessel at 2:00 had a great shape and design.

Around 1:40 that looks like an eagle landing on the mast of one of the ships. I know there are mostly seagulls there, but that sure looked like a bald eagle.

Cormorant I think

Still hurts to see boats in a such a sorry state. ?

Too sunk to resink offshore. Could have been a good reef. Really hard to see that other drone. Big Osprey nest, cool

Cormorants don't have white heads...

Great video plus the tunes you put to the video. Where is this ship graveyard?

Many variations do worldwide.
Check google images.

I was going more off the way it flew and the long neck, they fly quite uniquely.

Quite a statement on waste. Hard to believe each ship was bright, shiny and the pride of a captain at one time ...

Great shots. There was a ship recycler near New Orleans that used to look like that that I always wanted to explore. I was scheduled to work just a few miles further north on Arthur Kill in June. If that ends up remaining on the schedule I’ll definitely have to pack my M2P in case I get some free time to explore.
