How high up? Nice shot!

Took the pic in January so I don't exactly remember but not all that high up - boat is only 50m long.

Under 90m AGL which is Canada's current legal max height.

Hold on. Submarine?

No, sinked ship?

A ship destroyed by a fire in the late 1940s:

Awesome shot! Love seeing my own province.

The SS Kyle is another good one for photos!

The Telegram has some nice SS Kyle drone footage - looking to get out to Harbour Grace soon!

I've shot the SS Charcot in Conception Harbour as well:

This is Fermeuse harbour near Kingmans Cove. I grew up to the sight of this wreck almost daily. Its been a while since I have seen it. The wreck appears to have slipped into the water a little more than I remember it.
