Brilliant! My print is beautiful. I initially ordered the wrong product due to my own error but Carol was so supportive and helpful I cannot recommend her/this company enough. - Jonathon S, Rotherham
Scottish Shipwrecks mounted foamex print - lightweight, contemporary and available up to 30in x 20in.
The soft reflections and subdued light introduce depth and atmosphere, ideal for spaces that favour understated coastal themes.
Just outside Salen on the Isle of Mull, two derelict fishing boats - Pavonia (built in Banff, 1955) and Elsie May (a prawn boat from Oban, late 1960s) - linger on the shoreline, abandoned when restoration plans fell through in the 1970s. A local reportedly acquired them for salvage but later abandoned the idea. These haunting relics have weathered into silent, photogenic sculptures against the backdrop of the Sound of Mull, just a short drive from Craignure en route to Tobermory. Locals call it a photographer's right-of-way - magical in the right light, but fading forever under the elements.
In my photograph the boats appear almost fused with the land, their shapes half-swallowed by time. The deep, moody colour palette emphasises that slow collapse - a sense that the tide has moved on but they've stayed behind. A striking piece if you're into storytelling through scenery.
Enjoy a premium photographic print with three paper options, each designed to suit different lighting conditions and artistic preferences:
Each print is mounted onto black, 3mm Foamex - an ultra-durable, moisture-resistant PVC substrate that remains lightweight yet rigid. Perfect for displaying on an easel or mounting with the included Velcro strips, without the need for framing.
Supplied without a border unless otherwise specified.
Optional lamination is available in satin or gloss to match your selected paper, providing extra protection against moisture and handling. However, lamination is not recommended for Fine Art Matt paper, as it will obscure its authentic texture.

Very prompt service, good communication, arrived when promised, lovely item! Would definitely use in the future!
The attention to detail is above expectations. I'm thrilled with what Carol has done, I will be purchasing again. Thank you
Absolutely wonderful photo! I bought it for my grandson but my daughter loved it so much that we decided it would be a waste to put it on his bedroom wall. The quality and detail demands a place where everyone can see it. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. Thank you for the quick delivery too!
