shipwreck

This is the before (1949) and after (2009) pictures of a shipwreck down on the VFW beach in Monashka Bay. It was an iron ship called The Santiago and was built in 1885 in Scotland. Apparently it was a record-breaking fast schooner that later turned into an oil barge that was used here by the Navy during WWII. It was beached in 1941 because of a leak in its hull.
