About this image
As I swam along the sandy bottom in the crystal clear waters of Grand Cayman, looming 50 feet above me was this huge vessel.
The USS Kittiwake (ASR-13) was a United States Navy Chanticleer-class submarine rescue vessel in commission from 1946 to 1994. Kittiwake was decommissioned on 30 September 1994 and struck from the Naval Vessel Register on the same day. Her title was transferred in November 2008 for an undisclosed amount to the government of the Cayman Islands for the purpose of using Kittiwake to form a new artificial reef. Originally intended to be sunk in June 2009, it was finally sunk off Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman on 5 January 2011 in a Marine Park. At its most shallow, the Kittiwake is 15 feet below the surface of the water and at its deepest, 64 feet below the surface.

Beautiful picture!
Thanks Adam for capturing the Jens Jensen Winding Road. My wife and I have been searching for the last few years for some art that really took us back to Door County. This jumped out at us immediately. Now it sits in a place of prominence at our home. We’ll keep looking through your work for more from DC. Steve & Deb Winterhack

We selected a photo of Adams that we felt captured the beauty of the Chicago downtown river walk area and asked him to apply a brushed filter in a large format of approximately 70” x 50”. It was printed on a large canvas and box framed . It tuned out FABULOUS! Wish I could attach a photo of it hanging in our foyer so you could appreciate the beauty we are enjoying! Overall experience was wonderful and the artist is a pleasure to work with. If I could give 10 stars I would.
