Captain Morgan brings us a nice photo of the World Concord Tanker in the Irish Sea. This is not one of the "normal" Morgan shots, we usually see a photo of a town or a large public or industrial building. I look forward to hearing the story about this tanker.

Wonderful B&W shot 🌟 “A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.” ― Ansel Adams
Oretani Wildlife (Mike Grimes)
Here's an article about the World Concord, the largest tanker in the world at the time, and her breaking up in a storm in the Irish Sea. portspastpresent.eu/items/show/562 It would appear that she was then repaired and operated until 1974 under another name. www.twi-global.com/media-and-events/insights/world-concor...

Clippings via Trove ... This half described as "aground off Ballyquintin", which might explain the thin line from her bow, not large enough for an anchor (also visible in Monkey's other photos) - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/169651828?searchTerm=%... The other half was towed to the Clyde - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/18451024?searchTerm=%2... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/217162890?searchTerm=%...
