the Wreck of the Peter Iredale
During our rumbling stumbling whirlwind tour of the PNW's coast I accidentally found one of my must have ops.
This ship ran aground in 1906 in it's haste to pick up fresh cargo in Portland Oregon, it was due to be retired soon due to the fact that it was too old to be refurbished with steel, instead it was scrapped where she lay except the bow which was left mostly intact here on the beach. I'm afraid it won't be there much longer, there isn't much left of the lean four master.
I haven't even processed the other twenty some odd shots, but I couldn't stop staring at this one so I guess it's good enough for now. :-)
Blow it up and step inside, it's way cool.
(the map location is approximate, there are signs in the park pointing the way.)
