This is a much-photographed shipwreck near Stanley in the Falkland Islands. The barque Lady Elizabeth arrived in the Falklands in 1913 with a cargo of lumber out of Vancouver. She struck a rock, limped into Stanley, and was condemned as an insurance write-off. She acted as a storage hulk moored in Stanley Harbour for many years, until she broke her moorings in a storm in 1931 and drifted ashore to her present striking location in Whalebone Cove.
