Whats left of the shipwreck Arctic stern and now bow sections

[Wreckhunter]

Thought I would share a photo of whats left of the stern section of the shipwreck Arctic,the bright object visible
that looks like a drum,is the firebox boiler.The shallow water that the wreck is in (12 feet of water) and wave action
over the years have torn it up pretty good.I will be putting another photo of the bow section which is 800 feet to
the north of this part.

A good informative article @MA2 317 and I learned something: expired vessels (so to speak) are "sunk and abandoned". And we wonder why water levels are rising...

The photos that I posted of the Shipwreck Arctic,were about the best I could get.
There was some wave action,sun glare off the water ripples,and then throw in water
clarity issues.The greenish look was the actual color of the water.i tried some work
with the photos in photoshop,but the more I played around with them the worse it got ,lol.
Also maybe time for a drone upgrade from my air 2.Perhaps air 2s or M3.Anyway I wanted
to explain a little about the kinda ghostly looking photos.Did learn one thing about shipwreck
photography its not real easy,but its interesting.
Any way Merry Christmas to everyone here.
