brodie knox, Final Destination (SEASCAPE 2023)

I’ve been photographing the Janie Seddon shipwreck since 2013. It was one of the first subjects that got me interested in seascape photography. Over the past few years I’ve noticed her main structure beginning to give way due to being left to the harsh elements of nature. Back in her glory days she was used as a submarine mining vessel and was the last surviving military ship to have served in both world wars - rumour has it she even fired the first shot in WW2. These days she is one of the main tourist attractions in the small town of Motueka, she also makes a great perch for seabirds.
