Discovery

"May there be many summer mornings when, with what pleasure, what joy, you enter harbors you’re seeing for the first time"

~excerpt from the poem Ithaka by C.F. Cavafy

After settling on the ocean floor, our fair ship has become a home for barnacles, coral, and other sea life. Years have gone by. Its former crew is gone and forgotten. But for an adventurous diver, this broken vessel brings a happy surprise and the joy of discovery.
