Liberty Bestows Life

$95.00$2,895.00

In Indonesia, the 1942 wreck of a world war II liberty ship, sunk in shallow water off the coast of Tulamben, has become one of the most popular coral reefs. Even though the water is shallow, in the shadows the wreck feels dark and mysterious. Photographed in hundreds of overlapping closeup images, the side of the wreck comes alive in vibrant colors of the marine life that have thrived here for over 75 years, as the sun shines through the rusting hull.
