California Here We Come! Part 8: Shipwrecked!

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip...

On the way home from CA, I decided to visit the Peter Iredale shipwreck at Fort Stevens.  I arrived late in the day as the park was about to close but managed to snap a few pictures in the rain before driving the rest of the way back to Seattle!

The Peter Iredale was a four-masted steel barque sailing vessel that ran ashore October 25, 1906, on the Oregon coast.  Here's what it initially looked like:


Here's what it looks like now, give or take the rain drops on my camera lens:

Wow, that is so spooky looking! I think the rainy day helps, too, make it even creepier. Fun pics!
