As a diver you sometimes are lucky to find the remains of a wreck or as I refer to:  A ghost from the past - - -

I have just accounted for the wrecks I have dived here in my local waters, - and I came to 7.  That does not mean that there are no more, because I am very sure that there is - - -

However, - in all cases - except for one - I have no photographic records of those adventures, simply because I did not own an underwater camera - - - -

But finally I bought an underwater camera - - -

Here is the result from a wreck found in a fjord about less than 10 kilometers away from our house - as the crow flies - - -

It's a wooden ship - schooner size - and quite broken down, but still it's exiting to explore - - -
