The Wreck of the Peter Iredale

If This Vessel Could Talk!

I recently had the opportunity to travel the beautiful Oregon Coast, and I was shooting along the way  Here is the wreck of the Peter Iredale, one of Oregon's most haunting shipwrecks. The ship was built in Maryport in June 1890, and was 285 ft. long, it ran aground in late 1906.  It has been reported that the Captain's final toast to his ship was: "May God bless you, and may your bones bleach in the sands." 

Pretty sweet and amazing it's withstood all these years of tides.
