The Peter Iredale was a steel sailing vessel that ran aground on October 25, 1906 on the Oregon coastline and was abandoned to decay over the next 100 years. Find out more here!
The ship has become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike as it is located conveniently close to Fort Stevens State Park where you can camp in a tent or cabin, and have access to explore the abandoned military fort! Two ghostly remnants of days gone by in one trip!
All pictures are snapped by me, on my trusty iPhone 6+. No edits!
The water pulling away from the boat created the most amazing reflections on the beach and sand.
At high tide the ship sits at least waist-deep in the ocean, but at certain points of day the water draws back allowing adventurous explorers to climb aboard!
Needless to say we thoroughly explored the vessel, experiencing the ghostly presence of the ship’s bones.
We left as the water started to come back in, the breeze picked up, and sea foam skipped across the sand.
Here a friend stands between sky and ocean. Where one begins and the other ends, I’m not quite certain.
Hi friend! Thanks for stopping by, I’m really glad you’re here!
I’m an artist, writer, and creative consultant based in the Pacific Northwest. I see steemit as an incredible asset to artists and creatives as a way to share their work and connect with like-minded people. You can check out my intro post, read more about the theatre projects I work on, or follow me! I’m especially interested in finding other performing artists on this site. If that’s you, please say hello! See you around the steemosphere!
