Stranded Shipwreck

Such a quiet morning along this artistic shipwreck I love how the fog hugs this piece of history and not any footprints around making this a very minimalistic picture. This shipwreck is just bare bones now, but it was once a 275-foot-long, four-masted steel barque sailing vessel out of Liverpool, England. The wreck occurred October 25, 1906 as the ship struggled through a storm on its way to the mouth of the Columbia River. Luckily, no ghosts haunt the ship remains – the entire crew made it safely to shore. Captain Lawrence's final toast to his ship was: "May God bless you, and may your bones bleach in the sands."
