Anse Cochon Bay Artificial Reef Deck Freighter Lesleen M Over Grown Reef Remains Sea Bed Ship Wreck Sunken Under Water Wreck Capstan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remnants of a bygone era resting on the deck of the Lesleen M, a freighter sunk intentionally in 1985 off Anse Cochon Bay, St. Lucia. Serving as an artificial reef, this sunken vessel now teems with life beneath the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. The image showcases an array of gear that once played an integral role in maritime operations but now lies motionless amidst vibrant coral and marine vegetation. The colors are strikingly vivid, with nature reclaiming its territory as lush greenery envelops every inch of available space. The warm glow of sunlight filters through the water's surface, casting a mesmerizing light upon this underwater scene. The shipwreck's deck serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and a haven for countless species seeking refuge within its rusted hull. A prominent feature in this photograph is the capstan - a large mechanical device used for winding ropes or cables - which stands tall amidst its overgrown surroundings. This juxtaposition between man-made machinery and natural growth creates an intriguing visual contrast. Lisa Collins/Robert Harding skillfully captures this enchanting moment where time seems suspended beneath the waves. Through her lens, we are transported into an otherworldly realm where history merges seamlessly with nature's resilience. It is a reminder that even in our ever-changing world, beauty can be found in unexpected places like this remarkable artificial reef off Anse Cochon Bay in St. Lucia's West Indies region.
