The Galleon

Talima

Mactan, Cebu

This dive site is now called The Galleon. A wooden-hulled boat was sunk here, brought so close to the wall, the surge pushed it to the edge, breaking it in two. Now what is left is the bow, perched on the reef front, rigged by steel wires to rocks. And since most of the wooden planking already decayed, what remains is the skeletal framework shaped like a ribcage. With the rigging, it looked like cuffed limbs outstretched to the heavens. It is only a matter of time before the steel wires pull the bow apart.
