strange boat, Vietnam

[magpie patrick]

Bing has been putting the image below as my wallpaper for the last couple of days - its from Getty Images

 

It appears to show a river with a boat that is either skeletal of waterlogged - I'm guessing it may actually be a very wet cargo if indeed it is a boat.

 

Although I'm well travelled I've never been to this part of the world, nor along a river that is surrounded by rice fields (from memory the Irrawaddy was not, but it is over twenty-five years since I made that voyage

 

Anyone have any ideas?

Bing? So YOU’RE the one who uses it...

 

Sorry, no idea about the wet-looking thing.

My immediate thought was a hulk like the many dotted around the Thames Estuary but, looking at the size in relation to the buildings and waterway and what looks like a structure on the vessel...Some sort of fish farm perhaps?

Apparently it's in Lang Din,. Vietnam. Better photo here and looks like a sunken ship.

Doesn’t to me. It appears to be two separate rectangular structures (chained together?) with a triangular one pointing upstream.

Seems likely to me.

Agree, closer up it looks less likely to be a boat - if it was decked over I'd think different, but I think it's water surrounded by structure not structure containing water

mystery solved!   been seeing this picture recently and was trying to work out where and when.   Yes as soon you zoom in the sunken boat suddenly is very clearly a fish farm or simular.
