The sunken TowBoatUS vessel "Victory" where she has been towed in close to the marsh for the night. Included for the "Emotion of Man and Nature". I was one of the Captains when she went down saving a 54 foot yacht in the North Breakers in St. Andrews Sound, Georgia. The yacht was saved. This photograph was taken for documentary purposes during the event...so no time was available to insure the best of photographic techniques. Also, my scanner is not up to the job with slides. See my Southeastern Photography for before and after shots of this vessel.
