Photos of the Acrux, taken 7/11/02
Roll E

Disclaimer: please note that these photos were taken explicitly to show the damage to the boat, and not to enhance it's value or appearance. Therefore there is a perponderance of photos of damage, and not very many photos showing the good things of the boat. The photos were taken in a fair hurry in the rain (5 rolls--120 photos--within about an hour of time!), so the picture quality isn't the best--for which I appologize. However, they do show the problems, which is why I took them!

  • Roll A
