The SS Dominator ran aground in March 1961. Fifty-two years later, the debris is strewn along the Palos Verdes coast.

I knew I was almost there when I started seeing this.

Hard to believe so much of the rusted shell remains so many decades later.

And rebirth among the ruins.

I’ll do my whale watching from here, thank you very much

I haven’t spotted any whales lately, but I know they are out there, and that there are plenty of whale watching expeditions that could lead me to them.

But I get terribly sea sick — and prefer views like this to any that I could see from the boat above. So I’ll stick to dry land, thank you very much.
