The coastline of South Wales, in the UK, has a concealed history. A history of tragedy and death. A history of lives lost at sea. The treacherous waters of the Bristol Channel have long been navigated by waterborne vessels and on many a gale driven night or fog laden morning, many of these vessels have foundered on rocks unseen. This work investigates the history of these shipwrecks through large format traditional black and white photographic methods. This work is a visual story of a treacherous history. This is a legacy for the stuttering candles extinguished by the sea.
