MS World Discoverer Photog. SV Manjana
The MS World Discoverer hit an uncharted reef in the Sandfly Passage in 2000. The hole was too big to get it repaired on the spot, so all the guests were taken ashore. A few hours later the captain ran the ship full speed on ground to prevent it from sinking. 23 years later, it still sits abandoned in the Solomon Islands.

Day 11: "Pencil" from the Peachtober prompt list, featuring best gorl Nona from the Locked Tomb book series.
[Image ID: Digital drawing in the style of a pencil sketch of Nona from the book Nona the Ninth, shown from the waist up. She is cronching loudly on bits of a pencil with her mouth wide open. She's holding another pencil in her right hand with her pinky up, ready to eat it next, and a whole bunch of pencils in her left hand waiting their turns. She's wearing a t-shirt that says "You're my WORLD" and has a cartoony planet Earth on it with a hat and a mustache, giving a thumb's up. End image description.]

A historic old US Life-Saving Station. Originally built during the early 1800s in Chatham, the dunes it once stood on became unstable. So in 1977 it was floated by barge to it's present location at Race Point, Provincetown. 19th century lifesavers had a huge responsibility: to try and rescue the survivors of shipwrecks during dangerous and stormy seas. Many perished and the outcome was always uncertain. This was an early form of the Coast Guard.

I would kiss you, had I lips to set upon your breaking bow. I would make of my hands tender things that never once were wet with blood. For you, I would make a flower of my ribcage and rest all your rotting parts so deep within my guts that we both forget we were ever apart.
But:
Oh, dearling, but I am not made for softness. When the skies darken and the fish flee, when the winds whip and foolish, reckless things do not return to shore, I rip from my depths a violence, old as this earth.
Old as the moon when it was still rubble, sharp as this skin when it still burned, I fold over you; a pitch-dark thing.
Your bow breaks.
I do not swallow you as a whale swallows a puppet's father, barbs and gentle tongue. A world within. Breathing, still.
There are no barbs to filter flesh from flotsam, see. I've no guts to cradle you in and no lungs to share your breath. I cannot help the diving. The cliffs are razor-needle-terror sharp, and they tear you in two. You splinter under my touch. You groan.
You sink.
Come, now. Let me hold you. The sand upon your deck will no longer harm you, and the dune will not let you go. Allow me to drip into your every dear crack, and line your boards with salt. I will fold myself around you as though I had arms to cradle you.
In the light of the breaking clouds, you are golden. Around you, every stirred thing shines.
My love, the storm has passed. Until the next one, I will hold you in the deepest parts of myself - a gentle rocking, a clear view. The divers are not far, now, and their hands are small and tender.

Today in Great Lakes shipping history. June 20th.
Seaway Queen nears completion in 1959.
Seaway Queen Captain Frank D. Harpell
1959: On June 20, 1959, the SEAWAY QUEEN began her maiden voyage. The vessel was appropriately named, as at the time she was the largest Canadian vessel on the Great Lakes, the 2nd largest on the Great Lakes overall (behind the EDMUND FITZGERALD), and she entered service the same week that Queen Elizabeth II and President Dwight D. Eisenhower formally dedicated the St. Lawrence Seaway. She was one of the more popular and classic looking vessels on the Great Lakes.

Finding this website immediately after finishing Our Wives Under the Sea was… an experience.
I am experiencing those inexplicable cosmic feelings. Those “holy shit the world is so cool and terrifying and I don’t know whether I want to explore it or hide from it” feelings. Those “the ocean is so fucking huge I can’t even wrap my mind around it” feelings.
Yk?

Snow Cemetery. This church was built in 1827. The obelisk in front is a memorial to the 57 men lost at sea in Truro during the "October Gale of 1841" that took place on the 4th. It was said that hundreds of fishermen were pulled out of the sea throughout Cape Cod. From Chatham to the tip of the Cape, at least 50 wrecked ships were found scattered along the coast. So many sailors were lost in Cape Cod during that storm of the century that it became customary when women were deciding whether or not to court a young man to ask one question: are you a sailor? If yes- then the date was off.
Truro Cape Cod 11/11/23
