Description
You may have heard of the recent ship that was hit by a massive wave and virtually thrown onto the beach at Blackpool.Actually it came ashore at Cleveleys just up the coast but I guess the media thought blackpool ws easier to find on the map.Notive all the people on the beach.What the media alao didnt say is that it unloaded hundreds of packets of McVities chocolate biscuits..the sea gulls have had a field day.

Beautiful colour and composition! I hadn't heard about the shipwreck but it's not suprising considering the terrible weather we've had in the UK recently. Great capture!!

What an impressive shot! Magical colors and the people really help give the scale of the large size of the ship! Very opportune and very beautiful image.

I heard nothing about this! Incredible and to see it is even better than hearing about it. The way the sun turns it into a romantic image is fabulous. Great job.

Love the composition - good thinking to go out and take this shot, it isnt something you see every day, and you looked at it through an artists eye rather than just going for the documentary image and it paid off - very surreal. :)

They obviously knew that there was a better market at Cleveleys... ;o) Strangely a passenger car ferry, the Princess Victoria, on the Stranraer-Larne route between Scotland and Northern Ireland, sank in an horrendous storm, on 31st January 1953, 55 years to the day. Over 130 died. About 40-50 were rescued. Luckily there were no deaths in this storm. Modern radar, radio, Coastguard ( British and Irish ), RN and RAF helicopters helped to make the difference. Even people who live next to the sea often lack a full appreciatio of, and respect for the angry sea's strength and ferocity. I well remember the three police officers who drowned after a dog was washed away, 5th January 1983. Several locals, holidaymakers, even a fisherman, have died after being swept away on the Fylde coat over the last 25 years. Regards, John.

Hi John, Thanks for history.As you rightly say it is a beautiful coastline but people do under estimate the dangers of mother nature. We should spare a thought for the people who were on the ferry.Just imagine how they felt.They were only a few hundred yards from the safety of land and could probably see the lights of Cleveleys but had no way of getting off before help arrived and we should spare a thought for the brave guys who got them all ashore. Have a good day all. Eddie
