Fascinating photos rmasmaster! Where were the photos taken and what caused the tug to sink?

All the best

blimey, I thought with those beautiful blue seas it was somewhere in the southern hemisphere, not on our own back doorstep.

great photos and thank you for sharing them. Looks a little tight for the crane barge in there.
