![]() ![]() I have photographed them for many years and I have a large archive of images. I began to search for more dead boats and found them everywhere. I felt as if I had hit upon a new image, one that avoided the tourist cliches of the bridges, the canals, the boats, the brown canal houses, the cafes, the bikes and the pretty girls. I had never seen a photograph of a dead boat in Amsterdam. ![]() ![]() It made me melancholy to think that she was once a beautiful boat that carried her passengers to the other shore but now, with the passage of time, she will never sail again she is abandoned and dead. I saw an old boat, abandoned, half-submerged, trash in the cockpit, weeds growing in the hull, her name faded by the sun and the sea. One day quite some time ago, I was walking in Amsterdam and happened to look down into one of the canals. ![]()
