Didn't Larry post some shots of the same "ship" a while back?
Yes I did, it is one of the canonical (but you can use a Pentax) photo
subjects in Santa Cruz County. My dad used to live about two blocks from
it, and for a few months I was working about two miles down the road.
I posted a reply with links and such before seeing either Marco's link
to wikipedia or your question. Doing a quick search on my flickr feed,
there are a lot of photos of it but few, if any, as nice as the one
Marco just posted.

Thanks to all for the comments.
For those asking, it’s the SS Palo Alto, a concrete ship built in San
Francisco during WWI and installed as a tourist attraction at Seacliff
Beach, south of Santa Cruz, in 1930. Over the last couple of years,
storms have taken a dramatic toll on it, most recently a month ago when
massive waves tore the stern off of the ship. More at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Palo_Alto
As for adding a bit at the bottom, I had looked at an alternate crop,
but what’s down there resulted (in my view anyway) in throwing the tonal
balance off.

Comments, as always, welcomed.
Interesting!
Personally would love just a *tad* more at the bottom, not a lot,
just a
tad :-)
