Description The wreck of the 3-masted barque Otago in Otago Bay, Tasmania, Australia.  She was on her way to be dismantled, but broke free and was left there to rot away.  Here's an 1895 newspaper article about one of her hair-raising adventures trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/artic… Fremantle is my own local port, about an hour's drive away.

I really value every comment, , and  I can no longer thank everyone for Faves individually, but please know that I'm grateful and very happy to receive them, they mean a lot.

I like this, nicely framed! Looks to me too like just the ribs of the carcass left, or fish skeleton as already noted!
