Clyde Wreck

When you visit the Clyde River now, nothing really symbolises the decline of the ship building industry more than the site of relics like these that just appear as the tide drops. The Clyde river is very tidal there's quite a few meters between high and low tide so at high tide all these relics are covered and at low tide they're exposed again. Abandoned ships, boats, old wharves just being left there with the timber slowly decaying. You can walk through the bush on the on the banks of the Clyde and then all of a sudden a huge cast iron bollard will appear that at one time was holding on to ships.The jetties are gradually decaying and there's a series of photos I have taken of the relics of hulls of various sizes and of the timber wharves and jetties and what they look like at low tide today.
