This old fishing boat has been around for decades. The boat now sits on the bottom of flooded Tomales Bay, which is quite shallow. The water is high due to king tides and heavy rains.

The first comment below shows what it looked like in 2012.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sailing from Salina Cruz, Mexico, on or about September 26, 1906, Peter Iredale was bound for Portland, Oregon with 1,000 tons of ballast and a crew of 27, including two stowaways. The voyage up the coast was unremarkable until the night of 25 October, when Captain H. Lawrence sighted the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse at 3:20 a.m. local time. The crew altered course first east-northeast and then northeast to enter the mouth of the Columbia River in thick mist and a rising tide. Under strong winds out of the west, an attempt was made to wear the ship away from shore, but a heavy northwest squall grounded Peter Iredale on Clatsop Sands (now called Clatsop Spit). High seas and wind drove the ship ashore.

The ship was built in Maryport in June 1890, by R. Ritson & Co Ltd for P. Iredale & Porter. She displaced 2,075 tons and measured 87 meters (285 ft) in length and was fashioned from steel plates on an iron frame.

One from the holiday. I uploaded a shot of this wreck last year, but this time we visited, we went past to view from the other side (and our boat got a lot closer).

Driving in the northwest we picked up a young man from France who was hitch-hiking. He wanted to go to the port in the distance to catch a boat to Brjánslækur ferry. It was a bit off our route but very scenic so we took him all the way to the ferry which was close to the red lighthouse on the far hill. While there I noticed a boat trip to see puffins so we added that too!

Have a good Wednesday.

stumbled upon this poor wrecked shell in the woods.

This architecturally significant brick house is well over 100 years old. It has been abandoned for at least 25 years. the passage of time,decay,and neglect has pretty much ended any chance of restoration. A wrecking ball is probably the next option,clearing fertile land for farming in this northern Illinois location. But if recent history gives any indication,it will probably decay away for another 25 years...

The wreck of the 'MV Dayspring' fishing boat at Corpach, Fort William with Ben Nevis beyond, Highland, Scotland, UK

I haven't posted here for a while so this is a shot I took a month or so ago down at Longniddry.

This is a well photographed spot but the wreck is really falling apart with about 30% missing since I last looked a few years back.

...which almost intact 15 years ago...now like a whale carcass

This photo doesnt do it any justice but the sky, just before and just after sunset, was spectacularly awesome.

An abandoned old boat wreck lies stranded and half buried in ever encroaching sand. The shipwreck is on a tidal beach at Crow Point, North Devon, SW England, UK. The poignant weathered wood with its patches of brightly coloured flaking paintwork on its broken skeletal remains hint at its former days of glor

Thanks for getting a look with me.

Part of an old wreck as the tide comes in.

This shipwreck has become known as the Corpach Wreck, however, her real name is MV Dayspring. Built in 1975, she was an old fishing vessel that was moored at Kinlochleven Pier in 2001. Unfortunately in 2011, a heavy storm caused a chain to fail and she ran aground and has been there ever since.
