That truly is an abandoned boat! Not knowing my geography but presuming Norfolk Island is a small island(!), is it near the sea at all?

It’s in the Pacific Ocean, sort of on the same latitude as Sydney and was first a penal colony and then the descendants of the mutiny on the Bounty were resettled there. It is a fascinating place to visit. http://www.norfolkisland.com.au/ It’s an external territory of Australia.

Great photo! I know some folks from Norfolk Is, but haven’t been there myself. I hear it is beautiful and it has such an interesting history!

We spent a week there and it was great. We love history and scenery and there was plenty of both, not to mention the duty-free shopping.

It’s a very poignant photo. I wonder who the last people to use the boat were?

If only it could talk – I reckon that boat would have some amazing stories to tell.

Fantastic picture! My cousin used to work as a police officer on Norfolk Island and swears the place is haunted 😉

I wouldn’t be surprised. It would not have been a pleasant place in the prison days and there are some sad stories.

Two for one! An abandoned boat and an abandoned prison. Guess there will be no prisoners to be disappointed in the boat’s condition. 🙂 Love this photo, Carol. Ruined things are so interesting. 🙂
