Treasure Island in more ways than one, finding this was like finding treasure, this photo is well over forty years old, it hasn't faded, it was a bit dusty, it was taken on Ilford colourslide film which was made here in England, and it was taken on a Russian Cosmic 35 camera, which had a top shutterspeed of 1/250 sec, and a F2.8 35mm lens.

I took this picture in Morecambe, one of those famous Morecambe bay sunsets, the ship was actually seaworthy an was moored here for many years, until it caught fire and sadly that was the end of that. The ship was used in several films, its most well known role was in treasure Island, starring Jack Hawkins. Now I'm not sure if it was used in the film Moby Dick also. But here it is brought back to life through a good scan, slight adjustment to brightness, contrast and saturation, and some digital spotting. You know I might just print this one up. Oh and grain the size of marbles.
