87/100 coffee lift

I'm posting a series about printmaking on Six Sentences and this - a post- first stage etch before the removal of the hard ground - is one of the images I shall include in today's (yet-to-be written) post.

This is the hulk of one which was several hundred yards off shore in 1981, was well-broken up by 2002 (when this was taken, and is now nowhere to be seen.
