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.

Had a mini-holiday for a few days to one of my fave parts of the world - Port Stephens. Unfortunately, the weather was perfect, sunny skies all day. Perfect that is except if you are a keen photographer and want clouds. The more clouds the merrier!
So this is the beautifully secluded and hard to access Wreck Beach. At the moment the trail to the beach is closed because rains have made the path unnavigable. Almost. Lucky for me I can't read Inglish and like lowering myself over muddy ravines on a thin bit of rope ;) And it was the only time there was a hint of cloud about ! I have no idea why these rocks are the colour they are , or why they are bleeding, but they made for an interesting subject.
Hope to catch up on everyone's feeds soon. Cheers
Witches point is normally in shadow, but the late evening sun can light up this great headland. Add a dramatic cloud and a reflection, and you've got a great way of waiting for the sunset at Dunraven. Flaming wreck is a track by Pernice Brothers, and it looks a bit like that if you us your imagination.
Stormy weather in 2020 has uncovered the bones of a ship wrecked off the South Taranaki coast nearly 100 years ago.
The boiler and parts of the hull, some with timbers attached, are the remains of the SS Waitangi, which was wrecked at Pātea - NZ on May 5, 1923
Just another shot of this much photographed wreck on the shore in Corpach, Fort William.

United States Navy DC3 wreck, crash landed in 1973 at the black beach of Sólheimasandur in South Iceland.

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.

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.
Das Wrack der MS Polstjernan und etwas entfernt das Wrack MS Uwe am Falkensteiner Ufer in Hamburg Blankenese / The ship wreck MS Polstjernan and in the distance the wreck MS Uwe at the Falkensteiner Ufer in Hamburg Blankenese
This photo doesnt do it any justice but the sky, just before and just after sunset, was spectacularly awesome.
2 shots of the abandoned wreck near Roa Island Cumbria. Looking away from the island dismantling has begun on this abandoned trawler. In the background what looks like a lifeboat from a large ship.
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
It is a fair walk to this wreck and I've wanted to do it ever since I saw the first photo of it when I joined flickr. You could say it was on my bucket list well at last I've managed it it may have taken twice as long as for a more able person I'm just glad to have done it!
