UPY 2019 Wrecks - Highly Commended
'Ghost Ferry'
Becky Kagan Schott
The James W. Curran and John McPhail were car ferries that sank into 210ft / 64 meters while being towed to Kingston Ontario. They couldn't handle the strain of the storm and even today they are still attached by the long tow line. The Curran is turtled and the McPhail is upright on the bottom. Two interesting wrecks, in one dive!
Judge's comment: A spectacular wreck that is beautifully lit creating atmosphere and revealing details. Like several other photos in this category this photo is a fantastic technical achievement at these depths. I also like that the wreck is upside-down, which brings home the feeling of their sinking adding a poignancy to the picture.
