Old Wreck in Gulf


Winds were blowing about 40-50 knots when this was taken from an inbound ship. These are the remains of a ferro-cement ship built in WWII. Steel was scarce so cement ships were an experiment. After the war she was converted to a barge and ran between the US and Mexico for some years until she was run up on the beach and abandoned in the 1950's.
