The "Madagascar Jack" went on the St.Catherine's Island offshore bar at night in 9 foot seas. She is now sinking down into the beach. That's the adjuster talking to the insurance company. I was part of the company tasked with removing all "attractive nusuances". The hull was left where she sits and after three years, she has probably been swallowed into the beach. This photo was scanned and is not as sharp as the slide (sorry). I include it for the "Emotion between Man and Nature". See my Southeastern Photography site for the whole series.
