The Corpach Wreck HDR 1 Square Format PRINT ONLY Photograph - Limited Edition of 25

As is tradition in Scottish lore, the story begins on a storm-lashed night when something unexpected emerged from the dark waves. The residents of Corpach and neighbouring Caol, nr Fort William, awoke on a December morning in 2011 to discover the former fishing boat MV Dayspring sitting at a jaunty angle on the shingled beach of Loch Linnhe More than a decade later, it has never left. At first glance, the leaning, ever-so-slightly recumbent pose gives the impression that the so-called "Corpach Wreck" – also known as the "Old Boat of Caol" – remains undecided about its hasty decision to leave behind the water for a lifetime languishing on land. Others suggest that it has merely chosen the best position to sit back and marvel at the sweeping vista across the loch towards the majestic peak of Ben Nevis. Reports say, the owner was away visiting family when the 26-metre-long craft broke free from its mooring during a fierce storm. The coastguard helped control the landing of the stricken vessel on the beach between Corpach and Caol. Today, MV Dayspring is a much-beloved landmark that draws photographers from all over the world. They can be seen most days, picking their way along the beach, lugging cameras and tripods, in pursuit of the perfect shot. The area is steeped in history with the small port of Corpach sitting at an important junction where Loch Linnhe meets Loch Eil, as well as at the southern entrance of the Caledonian Canal.
