Telamon.
Built in the UK in 1954, the cargo ship Telamon had a number of names and owners until as the Telamon, she sprang a leak in October 1981 carrying a cargo of wood from Africa to Greece. The leak was so severe that she had to be beached between Arracife and Costa Teguise on the Island of Lanzarotte to prevent her from sinking. Eventually she broke in two and what you see in this image, captured in November 2007 is the aft section from her Bridge to her stern. There is information on the Internet about her life and eventual fate.
