Peter Iredale

 This is the skeleton of a once glorious sailing vessel the Peter Iredale which ran a ground here on Oct 25th 1906.. I remember coming here every summer with my Grandparents.. Grandpa and I would bring our bikes down to the park and ride the miles of trails.. ending here at the shipwreck... I always liked going down to see it..and there is soo much less of it now than there was when I was a kid...



If you really look at this picture you can see the last pieces of the tail of the ship..there's only two that remain. I really wanted to get pictures before she was completely gone.. last time I was here I didn't and I haven't found my old pictures yet...hopefully I will find them stashed in some old box..and in tact!



This picture was a bit of an accident...but I kinda like it... almost looks like a monster or a specter rising out of the beach.. a true ghost ship.
