Bow images

Hi, this'll be sort of the "sequel" to my Stern Wreck photos from the 2003 NOAA dive and other expeditions. This'll be all over the ship, not just the Exterior of Bow section (as we all know why with the Stern) So expect some "rare" (or just Hard to Find) Bow interior photos as well.

First Up: Boat Deck
Reading and Writing Room:
mysterious hole.PNG
Seems there's a big hole opening up there.

Reading and Writing Room Closer up:

The Starboard side of the Lounge roof. Looks visibly ripped/torn, from the Boat Deck collapsing in this area.

Holes in the Lounge's Roof, and there's space underneath of it!

I'll conclude this segment. Next will be Boiler Room 2, or the Hull. After that comes the interior.

Thank you for sharing those amazing photos !
Absolutely no problem! I know how frustrating it is when there's tons of footage, yet we barely see any of it. I'm going to keep updating it!

If you haven't seen the thread, here's the Stern version.
 
Here is Part 2. The Hull and the Forecastle Deck.

The Hull (some will be from free footage from the 90s)

Other Bits of the Forecastle:

The Wheel that controlled, sort of like a "brake" that controlled the speed of the Anchor chains for the few times they dropped.

Broken Base of the Mast--really shows the deterioration.

Thank you for posting these, I'm a bit tired of getting excited about wreck pictures only to find out that I've seen them a thousand times. This thread is refreshing (no pun intended!)
