Here is a much higher quality version of this image. Credit to the photographer, Conor Moore. He used to have a website. When he did, he provided the following caption:

> My favorite and most successful shot to date, the SS City of Adelaide is an exposed wreck of Cockle Bay on Magnetic Island. The wreck was gutted by fire and ran aground on the island in 1916.

> When shooting the SS City of Adelaide, I couldn't believe the brilliance of the mangroves which had taken over the wreck. I like to think that this shot is a representation of how nature can recover from human impact. Creating new ecosystems through wreckage of ships is truly a beautiful sight.

Here it is on Google Maps.

All of the metal bits have long since been pulled off by the island's strong attraction.

So cool, but how can there grow trees?

Mangroves happily can grow there as the ship hull provided some protection to them while they grew.
