System 3000 Image of the SS Portland


In this image the bow is towards the right. The walking beam is at the left center and the two boiler stacks with missing upper smoke stacks are just to the right. Of interest in this image is the hold opening near the bow viewed clearly, damage to the starbboaard midship area, as well as the large hole in the stern deck with some planking and internal structure clearly visable. Is that an anchor on the bow? Fishing nets can be seen floating in the water column as well as casting shadows on the bottom. Comparing this image to the photograph of the Portland it appears that we are looking down on the main deck. Off to the right of the wreck are large fish swimming near the wreck, most image separately and casting shadows on the bottom.
