Joachim Storm, near Lorient, France SW

The Joachim storm hit the French coast on Dec. 16th, 2011. The storm caused a cargo ship, the TK Bremen, to run aground on the beach at Erdeven, near Lorient in France.

Almost a month later the TK Bremen is still stuck hard and fast and is being 'destructed' on the beach.

These images are filmed by Jean-René Keruzoré (Air Vide et Eau).
