Captain James A. Duffy Shipwreck | Netherlands Photo Spot
Share this Page
The weathered stern and rudder of the Captain James A. Duffy, barely visible above the water’s surface, make for an intriguing subject in the North Sea Western Scheldt, Netherlands. The wooden ship’s remains offer a unique opportunity for photographers to capture a piece of maritime history amidst the vastness of the North Sea. Its eroded structures protruding from the sea invite photographers to experiment with minimalist compositions and long exposure techniques for silky, ethereal water effects. The spot is particularly atmospheric during early mornings and at dusk, with the golden or low light casting a surreal glow on the remnants and the surrounding water. Remember to check local tidal charts to plan your visit, as visibility of the wreck can depend on the tide level.
