The fact that you made it here means you decoded the Treasure Map! Congratulations! Your next clue awaits below.
On June 5, 2014, DestinyRose told a story. Once you find that story, click on the anagram of βlsevohβ and use this to find the treasure. Goodluck!

That is so awesome!
My years of playing video games tells me there is most likely hidden treasure in there lol.

This is difficult to evaluate on a computer screen. The subject is fascinating to me. As a kid I spent summers sailing on Lake Michigan and my grandfather was an able-bodied seaman in the British Merchant Navy in the 1880's. I'm pretty sure he was the contributor of the proverb "Worse things happen at sea in tall ships." to our family.
This old girl didn't simply wear out. All of the booms remain and the topsails are neatly furled. And even the ratlines (ropes along the bottom of the booms seamen stand on when handling sails) are still there. The stern superstructure is warped and bowed in ways that might have resulted from a fire. But the paint color is too consistent for that and fires usually eat up what ever isn't under water. On the other hand, What appears to be sheet metal (with the circular holes) along the safety rails could be canvas.
The combination of this hull type and sail plan says she's likely from Asia and a 'lorcha'. That's a junk like hull with European square rigged sails. Smaller commercial ships are usually more concerned with function than appearance so she could simply be a grubby working girl. Sitting out of the water could mean she's aground because she came to rest there or she's actually berthed with an anchor and the tide is out. Very interesting story three.
Critique from a consumer:
I would love to have more detail than the contrasts allow. It's a big subject but, as a looker, having a little more space around the ship would feel more natural to me, like peripheral vision was working. I'm guessing but there's most likely a lot more detail available in a larger viewing format. And that leads me to think this should be a wall sized piece. Perhaps in the waiting or conference room of a maritime law firm.
I really enjoy this image.

Ahh, the good 'ol ship by the Beacon near St Catharines. Arrrrrr!

it looks really great in b/w, I guess far better than with colours. and I think the angle is perfect... It wouldn't look so touching if it stood straight.

You just tickled me pink here! I love ships! Its so sad to see them like this, but its a great shot of it!

I really like the feel of this photo. It's very mysterious and thought-invoking. Yay!! (And I love it in b&w)

Great job

Straight to my favs!...I absolutely fell in love with this! I am a huge fan of this type of photograghy..I think you are right to in color I would doubt if it would have the right mood.
feel free to check out my profile page.[link]

It's a very nive photo!! i like it! it's a pitty when these once big boats that would cross over entire oceans are left to rot...
you've captured it well!

Very nice work. This is for sure Black & white subject matter. It really works.

I've seen this boat for real if no mistake.
I was in toronto during summer 2006 and this rusty boat must be on the left side of the road when you go to Niagara right ?

Looks like a madmans dream watercraft. The angle is hypnotizing.
π: 0 β©: 0
This is quite lovely. I like the angle and all that negative space around it. 
π: 0 β©: 0
Wow, you like very much photography!! I see....
Great work! I liked it so much, that hears strange in a anime fan, but don't matter, I like this art. (if you ask, i'm a Mao chou fan, girl, not series fan).

I've had a thing about pirate ships lately, ones with faces carved into them. This one has the mood and erieeness ( is that a word ) that I've felt. Excellent, I love it. Thumbs up, it inspires.

looking at this makes me dizzy 
seriously. I like it, the boat looks much cool, and the b&wness makes me think of all the old photos at my nanna's...
but the tiltiness 
something cool about a photo that induces a physical reaction 
maybe i just need to go eat some food..

I think that black and white is positively perfect for a piece like this... it ages the ruins even more. How greatness easily falls.. Through any normal progression in time.. this is ultimately the end for everything... and somehow it doesn't feel hopeless or futile.. somehow this gives uncomfort of predictability. The slant is really an awesome touch... it makes me think that the thing is going to capsize any second... which strangely enough gives it life. Really nicely done sweetie and definitely worth the award it received

B/W is a good choice for this...that slant is completely disturbing (in a good way). Derelict, hulking skeleton, lots of loss and history here.

Reminds me of one of *gilad βs photos! Really itβs a shame no cloud formation was in the sky, I know how big of frustration that is, you have a great prime subject that you want to photograph, but only if the sky had formation itβd be so much nicer.
Yeah, color sometimes really affects a photo, in my opinion. I myself am a grand fanatic of color, if it doesnβt look good in color than it has to look good in B+W... B+W make photos classic, and beautiful in my opinion.
Great job nonetheless.

wow a comparison to *gilad is quite the compliment thank you

O.o! is this the boat that you find on the way to niagra fall??? so nostalgic
if so, then i took a shot of it too, from a less interesting angle of course...

That's exactly the one!

I guess these sorts of objects just have it in their nature to appear haunted.
Still, I feel drawn to this, and I can't say why.
