Artist's Description
A very low tide at Sandymouth beach North Cornwall near Northcott Mouth, north of Bude, Cornwall, England, UK. Just appearing is all that remains, probably boilers?, of the the wreck of the 1,925 ton Portuguese steamship "Belem" (formerly the German SS Rhodos) stranded in thick fog at Northcott Mouth, Bude, on 20th November 1917 while on passage from Gibraltar to Barry with ballast. The crew of 33 including two Royal Navy gunners (she was armed with a light gun aft), were brought ashore by rocket apparatus. She soon broke her back and was deemed a constructive total loss, being later broken up for scrap. The remains are not always visible except on occasion when heavy seas scoop away the covering sand, In the 1980's(?) a team of local enthusiasts recovered her propeller shaft which was donated to Bude Museum. Also understand that another part of the shaft was used to perch the barrel on Barrel Rock at the end of Bude Sea Breakwater.
About Richard Brookes
Images exploring Devon & Cornwall's remote inspiring landscapes, breathtaking coast, ruins and shipwrecks in this beautiful part of SW England, UK. The stunning natural beauty of the area, which changes with the light, seasons and coastal climate, is constantly inspiring. There is so much history here too with human occupation spanning millennia. A photographer's dream. My photos are mostly taken spontaneously in less visited places or from unusual viewpoints. If they hold your attention, lift your spirit, make you ask questions, make you smile or fire your imagination and your wish to explore then it is more than enough reward....although you can buy prints too! ;)My photos mostly explore beautiful rural North Devon & Cornwall...

Thank you Ingvild, I'm really pleased you like it. I have some other photos of the wreck site on here - there's a separate gallery - in case you haven't seen them! :)

Laurie Search
This is a really interesting and beautiful image, Richard! Wonderful composition!! :)))
Richard Brookes replied:
Thank you Laurie. Really pleased you like it. I liked the incongruous nature of the wreck with such beautiful surroundings. This was taken a couple of years ago. In March this year I came across it again & winter storms had removed several feet of sand and a lot more was exposed. It was amazing.
