More ships, but this time its a graveyard

A graveyard of dreams and ships.  These are Cape Horners, there are the remains of wrecks all along this shore, skeletal remains sticking up out of clear frigid water, ships that came this far and couldn't make it further, the end of the line at the bottom of the world.
The town though is vibrant, growing fast, lots of new infrastructure, good roading, tidy and clean.
This is I think fuelled by tourism, cruise ships come through here a lot, some are based here ( see below) and its a service center for quite a large farming community.
We'll be exploring more.

  1. So far away and yet the tourists still come. Do they earn certificates of some sort as well?
    Hope you are well, Mr. Welsford.
