Walking on the ice next to the H M S Calypso/Briton Shipwreck in Embree

This is the second video of the Shipwreck down Embree in Central Newfoundland. This time it was in winter and the bay is frozen over so Me, My little brother Mitchell Deering, Aunt Nancy and her Boy friend Garry went down to embree and Me, Mitchell, and Garry got out and walked along the ice Nancy didn't want to come on the ice because she was a little nervous so she sayed in the van by Alex lane. so I did another 360 Degree video like last time. My last video was with my friend Jocelyn Hopkins this time it was with Nancy, Garry, and Mitchell. You have seen me and mitchell doing the scary mirror video, our reflection was in the mirror buy now you will see us standing by the Shipwreck and I was soo excited. It was my first time touching a shipwreck and being very close to it that I did a funny clap with my hands that looked like a lobster claw, they called it the Loppy and Garry copied my hand clap. Garry is wearing blue jeans and blue shirt, Mitchell is wearing a red shirt, Grey coat, Black jogging paints with red and white stripes and I was wearing a black and gray Polaris coat and black jogging paints with red strips. Me and Garry are the same Height but Me and Mitchell was Wearing Matching color clothes meaning the color of Mitchell's clothes matched my color of clothes (Red, Black, Gray). Then Garry and Me Took some rusty steel and wood off the shipwreck and took it home for souvenir a french word for memory meaning memento or keepsake is an object a traveler brings home for the memories associated with it. The video will come first then the pictures, The last video will show my Bells on the left, My souvenir pieces from the Shipwreck and my new Nintendo Wii that I got for Christmas of December 25, 2008. The Nintendo Wii came from Wal-Mart. Those Iron loops at the beginning of the video are things to tie the Ship onto the warth (The Ship's Dock), But when you hit them against the ship they sounded like ringing bells.

looks cool, how long was it there for?

Garry think the ship was there for 100 years but I know more about it than him. The Ship was created back around in the year 1850-1900, I can't remember when it was made. It was a world war 2 ship, then it docked in St. Johns of Newfoundland, Then it came into Lewisporte of Newfoundland. 40 years ago it got old and useless so they drive the ship in Embree of Newfoundland to set a time bomb on the ship so people will have time to leave. The ship blew into two pieces and it started to rust away.

She was a fine looking 3rd class cruiser or corvette built in 1883. She was from the transitional time between sail and steam and iron and steel warships. Google image her and see what she looked like in better times. She was retired from Naval service in the 50's and was a barge for many years before being left to rot.
