    Where's that? Looks like Woolwich but there didn't used to be a wreck there. Woolwich's was the biggest dry dock in Australia. Mort Bay Balmain had a dry dock that was filled in for a park (the Dry Dock Hotel is next to it).

    It's Woolwich. That wreck and the maxi yacht Comanche, which is also visible in the background of this photo, are in the exact same positions on Google Maps.

    Zooming in on the dry dock at a particular level shows this as the Lane Cove River. Both desktop and Android app. Love the oddities of technology.

    It's not a wreck, it's the caisson (floating door/plug) for the dry dock. It's Obviously not seen much use recently.

    That mix of rust and still water has its own quiet kind of beauty.
