This portrait of the once famous Lahaina Carthaginian floating whale museum was created just days before the masts collapsed. My dive buddy Daniel Opitz was slow in descending so I used the time to create this image without divers in it. The wreck is located in about 90 feet off water of Puumana.

This portrait along a few other other images of the wreck will be on display in what is going to be called the Shipwreck bar at the Waterfront Restaurant in Maui, re-opening in mid May at a bigger location in Maalaea Harbor. If coming to Maui please check out the restaurant and enjoy the art. I will have between 40-45 different pieces in the restaurant. If unable to make it to Maui, keep checking the blog. I will be posting an image a day. Please use the online gallery to purchase fine art for friends or family.
