What is recorded here

Ernest is a shipwreck in County Down, Ireland. Perhaps the sailing vessel broke apart during a violent winter storm, scattering timber and canvas across the seafloor. Maybe fish still circle the buried hull, unaware they swim through a forgotten chamber. Imagine diving past dark water to touch a ribcage built by human hands before the ocean erased its maker.
