Rohilla Wreckage One
There are two periods during the year in March
and September known respectively as the Vernal and Autumnal equinox
when the tidal range produces 'higher highs' and 'lower low 'tides.
Some years ago during the Vernal equinox in March, I made my way down
to the rock scar at a point just short of Saltwick Nab, Whitby in search
of anything that might still show above the water. It is surprising
that even with the passage of time people still sometimes ask what remains
of the wrecked hospital ship Rohilla, these images show how little
remains of this once proud liner.
These photographs above show
just a handful of images of the plating from the Rohilla's double
bottom yet still deserving of its place here in my gallery pages, a
second selection of photographs can accessed using the following
