We undertook a survey of the Ghost ship ‘MV Alta’ which ran aground off Ballycotton a year ago after being abandoned off Bermuda in 2018 and drifting across the Atlantic Ocean. We captured some pretty stunning drone footage of her being battered in a storm that beautifully demonstrates the tremendous power of the sea. She’s beginning to break up now, a large part of her deck and seaward side has been ripped off and her back is broken. Soon I imagine she will break in half, although it’s hard to say when as she’s quite stable on the rock platform she is aground on. But inevitably and inextricably the sea is claiming her.
