Last look at the ALTA shipwreck in Ballycotton before we head into the 2025 winter period. The seaward facing side of the bow has been badly damaged and now risks falling into sea , with the list and crane derrick putting added strain on the already weakened structure
Still seems fairly solid, it will all depend on how severe t the winter storms will be, thanks for the update.
You’re a busy chap Dronehawk and the videos you present to us are always interesting! Thanks for this update…the Alta wreck is still (amazingly) blighting the coast and looks as though it’s going to be there for sometime yet. Quite a tribute to her original builders. Regards from Rob in Bournemouth.
Long winter ahead Rob , getting out whilst I still can
Liking the logo!!
The music fits perfectly there, so beautiful and haunting at the same time
Well, it clearly hasn't survived last year's storms as it is broken in two so the question of surviving this coming winter doesn't arise. It will -rightly - be left to disintegrate further where it is; there is no point attempting to remove the wreckage as the costs would be enormous and it would serve no useful purpose. She will remain there much like the crane-barge Samson has been left near Ardmore since 1987. And I look forward to your fine videography charting it's ongoing decline in the years to come.
How long has she been there ? Looks like the port side of the wheelhouse has took the worst from a fire.
With the price of scrap she’ll be left to the sea to break up 👍
Yeah the wheel house was set on fire deliberately, possibly by locals to discourge the constant stream on tik tokers and vloggers visiting the area
@@dronehawk
Yeah that makes sense 👍
Why these two ships remain here.....? Don't they want to remove them.....?
It's one ship broken in two , and they won't remove it because it would cost a fortune because of where it's located.
@@dronehawk They don´t care about it.
