I recently traveled to Newfoundland and found it to be a fascinating place to photograph. The weather was constantly changing and the wind never stopped blowing. It was a challenge to photograph in these conditions but the unsettled weather created a moodiness to the land and sea. I came across the old wreckage on my first day of travel. As I was photographing and elder man appeared and told me the story about the boat. It was an old whaling ship called the SS Charcot. It ran around when it lost it's mooring in a storm back in the early 70's. It was a fairly quiet evening when I made this image and this old hulk had an eerie feeling about it.
