Exhibition:Ghost Ships and Tides
Photographer Peter Britton has created amazing seascapes around the stories of the wreck on Tusker Rock, which is less than 500m (0.3 miles) long and about 3km (two miles) west of Ogmore-by-Sea in Vale of Glamorgan. It has claimed dozens of lives over the centuries.
This photographic investigation pays respects to the people who lost their lives at sea, in particular in the waters of the Bristol Channel.
The work pays homage to the people who, on black, stormy nights, floated to their salty doom.
This work is a reminder of how dangerous our seas are.
