Salvaging the TK Bremen: Another Alan Taylor First Rate Photoessay

Alan Taylor does the best photoessays on the Web @ In Focus - The Atlantic. Today's effort is no exception.

Just over a month ago, the TK Bremen, a Maltese-registered cargo ship, ran aground high on Kerminihy beach in Brittany, France, during a severe storm. The TK Bremen weighed over 2,000 tons, measured 109 meters (330 ft), and was carrying more than 220 tons of fuel oil -- which immediately began leaking.
