Things Fall Apart - Sunk

[paniolo]

Don't know the history but it's been there a while.

Paniolo, where is this puzzling artifact?

An obvious mystery to be sure and certainly one of a doomed ship.

Selvin, it is at the Sand Island small boat ramp (last right turn before the bridge). Took a pic of a fisherman landing a large papio - I printed it for him and when dropping it off, I saw this. When I asked the fisherman about it, he indicated that it was not recent and did not know the details. I know nothing about sailboats, but thought that they had a keel and would not stay upright, but what do I know?
Mahalo for the look.

[Ordo]

Thats an oportune pick. Good catch.

It almost looks like a sculpture, but I'm sure there is more to it than that.

They found Gilligan!!

[paniolo]

Thanks for the comments!
Mugmar, actually Gilligan's island (the island that you see in the opening scene) is on the other side of the island, not far from where I live. I think he still lives there, lol.

Nice shot! I wonder what the story behind it is, or rather, why it is still there...

[paniolo]

mike 1, I checked the archives of the local paper and could not find any reference to the yacht. Seems like a waste - don't think it is too hard to float and salvage it.

I dont think its a yacht. I think its high intensity tv antennas for getting the underwater channels and old episodes of Hawaii 5-O.
