The entrance to Carbeile Wharf, a Mad Max-adjacent boatyard and tidal marina, one of last refuges for British live-aboards, in Torpoint, Cornwall, 2023.
“Every boat looks lived in, every deck strewn with jerry cans, pot plants, and mildewed canvaswork, coachtops and rigging draped with laundry and improvised awnings. The effect is of a shanty town, a floating favela thrown together by the vagaries of wind and tide, the disparate vessels caught by the tendrils of a slow-moving gyre that eventually stranded them here, in this shallow rural backwater.”
You can read more about it in a piece first published in Dark Mountain Project’s recent anthology, Dark Ocean.
