Went out from uk to Fueteventura see it in 2009. Drove down the gravel track, buckled a wheel but saw the wreck. Well the small bit pking out of the water.

Maybe you have to have skippered or sailed on a vessel to feel the heartbreak of seeing your ship reduced to a hulk.
It killed me to see our sailboat a mere shadow of it's former self several years after we'd sold her when we returned from cruising for three years. I'm glad my wife never saw her like that.
It would have been far better...more fitting... if our vessel had gone down at sea...within sight of land and us safely in our dinghy.
Always sad to see a ship like this.
