A close-up underwater photograph captures the heavily encrusted bow of the wooden shipwreck "Northerner." The pointed prow rises from the dark seabed, covered in barnacles and silt. A thick, broken wooden spar extends horizontally forward from the bow's peak. The interior structure of the bow is visible and decayed. The surrounding water is murky and dark green-blue, with a light source from the top right illuminating the wreck.
