So for the second time in a week, a magazine has contacted me for photos for up coming shoots. This one being the Inland Seas a boat watchers magazine. At first I thought it was for a freighter shot or so then to my surprise, Mr Palmer was doing a historical piece on the Olive Branch.

The Olive Branch was built by W Redmond of Picton Ontario, in 1871. Enroute to Portsmouth (Kingston) in 1880 with a load of coal the Olive Branch was caught in a storm and capsized drowning all five of her crew members. Located in 1888 efforts to raise her were abandoned and she was forgotten about till 1961, when Willis Metcalfe & Guenter Wernthaler relocated her.
I ventured outside today tending on visiting Adam but a flash flood on the 401 caught my attention so took some photos which got featured on the nightly news tonight.
