Telamon wreck by night.
The ship was constructed in 1954 in London. In 1981, in route from the Ivory Coast to Greece with a load of logs, she sprong leak and was forced to run a ground.

It was a very stormy night and the risk of the ship sinking in the small harbour of Arrecife, rendering the port useless was to high. So the telamon was leaded to strand in a small shallow sandy bay behind the harbour walls. (The lights right in the picture come from the Arrecife harbour).
The ship was unloaded and abandoned.

In a later storm, she broke in two (the tip at the right horizon is part of the second part of the wreck)
Since then the ship is ocasionally inhabited by squatters and it is frequently dived.
