Ghost ship in storm, short version FB page
We undertook a survey of the Ghost ship MV Alta which ran aground off Ballycotton a year ago after being abandoned off Bermuda in 2018 and drifting across the Atlantic Ocean. We captured some pretty stunning drone footage of her being battered in a storm that beautifully demonstrates the tremendous power of the sea. Shes beginning to break up now, a large part of her deck and seaward side has been ripped off and her back is broken. Soon I imagine she will break in half, although its hard to say when as shes quite stable on the rock platform she is aground on. But inevitably and inextricably the sea is claiming her.
