Your photo gets the mind to wanting more Rob. I discovered this was on a ship named Success, which was an Australian prison Ship that was later converted to a floating museum showing the inhumane treatments to the convicts. You can read about it here.

There is a comment here that tells what the Wooden Maiden was used for:If you were very naughty, you might be asked to remove your clothing and climb inside this vertical coffin, where of course it was pitch dark, there was no water, and fresh air was scarce. Then the box (which was clad in sheet iron) would stand in the hot sun until you got nice and warm. But you wouldn't want to slump or faint, because then your bare flesh might get snagged on the ends of the long nails that had been pounded into it from random directions . . .

Your colorization was done perfectly and once again you have intrigued us with your selection of photos. Faved

I have no idea ??? found something in the bottom left corner when working on this image looks like a claw but nothing I have seen before...maybe the hand of a ghost/inmate. huuuummmm...

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I agree about your editing, I think it's perfect for the image. I found what Tick wrote very interesting, as well. So not only a thank you Rob, for a job well done, but also to Tick for the information. tigs=^..^=

Rob, and Caedes-friends, in addition to the by Tick provided information and to know more about the 'convict ship' Success, please check-out THIS LINK.
Perfect colorization again! In order to complete this story, I'll provide you with THIS MUSIC LINK as well. Still hard to imagine that these things once had happened.

OOooh - I remember learning about this terrible torture chamber as a child. Those poor convicts being transported to places unknown to them and having that thing as a frightener as well - what terrible times. Some of them had only stolen food to feed their families.
Thanks for this excellently coloured reminder that the good old days were not all good.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The colorization is remarkable, very well done. The actual use for this is of course, horrifying, and yet, the facial expression is so serene and peaceful. Interesting photo, with a history that makes one cringe.
