Yellow Submarine

Sherry Felix3 Comments

I was surprised to hear that the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine (song) – Wikipedia was in Coney Island Creek, in the New York Harbor. Initially we drove out there to see the area and wildlife. I saw the Yellow Submarine on Google map and had to check it out. It is an old wreck that has nothing to do with the Beatles. It does have an interesting story. It was originally named Quester. Please read about the inventor and how it got there: Quester I – Wikipedia

Wreck of an old submarine, partially submerged in water, surrounded by trees and wildlife in Coney Island Creek.

Two photographs with similar color themes. I added some fog in the top half of the background using Firefly in Photoshop.
