American Star, June and November 2007.

Last Photographs

These are probably the last photographs of the American Star as she has turned onto her side and collaped so much that she is hardly visible above the water.

It is very sad that this once great ship (and popular tourist attraction) has all but gone.

A view from the beach.

Wreckage continues to be washed up and it cannot be too long now before there is no trace of her and the track to Playa de Garcey becomes deserted again.

Photographs kindly supplied by Lech Kluk of Sandiacre near Nottingham.

It is surprising that there has not been more deterioration over recent months, and though the last remnants are hanging on she will probably be nothing but a dark stain in the sea by next summer.
