The schooner Dwina was sunk somtime in the 1940s. She was a small two-masted vessel about 30 metres in length and was used to carry lumber. After her maintenance became too expensive, she was beached and tied to the shore where she remained for a number of years. At some unknown later time, the cable broke and the Dwina slipped below the surface.
The visibility was so poor that I gave up taking close-up photos and just went for the interesting shapes the murky water and bright sunshine provided.
Sorry, I don't have any details on the captain of the Dwina... just that the owner eventually couldn't afford to look after her and hence she was beached and eventually slipped below the surface.

Do you have any idea who the captain was of the Dwina? Thanks
