A return to the Sygna

The Sygna - Wrecked in 1974

The Sygna - Wrecked in 1974

Today I returned to the Sygna.  A ship that was wrecked off Stockton in the year of my birth...1974.  It broke up when they tried to refloat and remove it.  What's left corrodes slowly and less remains every year.

It's not the easiest place to get to I must admit.  The last time I was here was 2007 and I hiked all the way from Stockton.  That was a mistake and saw me only make it to the wreck after the sun had set.  Today I tried to come in from Fern Bay.  It was a lot better but seeing as though my initial attempt to get there through Fulerton Cove had failed, I almost missed the sunset again!  

It was a hours walk along the beach from the nearest car park I could find that didn't need a beach permit...I need to get one of those!  Approaching the wreck I thought I had missed the sunset again but as the sun dipped behind the Western horizon, the sky exploded!
