The River Princess...

by Cameron MacMaster
(Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

The River Princess, a 240-meter long ore carrier belonging to M/s Salgaocar Mining Industries, ran aground off the Candolim-Sinquerim coast of North Goa, India, in June, 2000, and has been stuck there ever since.

It has proved to be a huge environmental disaster. Over the years the ship has settled nearly 10 meters into the seabed, taking in between 30,000 and 40,000 metric tons of sand. Not only has this had a terrible affect on the seabed, altering it with each passing day, but it has completely changed the topography of the beach. And for the last ten years the hulk has been corroding, leaving rusted fragments, like shrapnel, washing ashore and threatening bathers.

Goa-based salvage expert Anil Madgavkar, had said earlier that the task of removing the ship is “like uprooting a sunken four-storeyed building.”

Due to political wrangling over the removal of the ship, it will probably sit there another 10 years.

I Took this Picture in 2008 in one of my first weeks in India. I was staying on a houseboat in Kashmir, on Lake Dal. I Don't remember the camera but it was something basic - just a simple point and shoot.

I love the light with the silhouettes of the boats in the Background.

Early Morning Rush Hour Traffic Across the Howrah Bridge...

Kolkata's most famous landmark, the Howrah Bridge, is a modern engineering marvel. This unique cantilevered bridge, made up of more than 2590 metric tonnes of high tensile steel, connects Kolkata's main railway station on the Howrah side of the river with Kolkata proper. The bridge spans about 500 metres, with two huge supporting pillars which rise to about 90 metres above road level. It was opened in 1943.

Over one million people a day cross back and forth over the bridge.
