A Shipwreck

Her name is La Grande Hermine and she came to Jordan in 1997 in hopes of turning it into a restaurant/gaming destination. She's seen better days before she was gutted by an arson fire in 2003. This will be one of my last images of her all intact as of around January 10th they are removing the masts as they are now deemed a hazard. I'm hoping to get some drone images of it first.

The ship was constructed in 1914 and was used for several purposes. Cargo, passenger and restaurant. Designed after one of 3 ships that Jacques Cartier used when exploring the St. Lawrence river back in 1535.

This image was illuminated by the full moon, majestic she is. The stories she holds within, soon to be gone as she sits.
