Description
The Peter Iredale Shipwreck at Fort Stevens State Park near Warrenton, Oregon. The ship was a four-masted steel barque sailing vessel that ran ashore October 25, 1906, on the Oregon coast en route to the Columbia River. It was abandoned on Clatsop Spit near Fort Stevens in Warrenton about four miles (6 km) south of the Columbia River channel. Wreckage is still visible, making it a popular tourist attraction as one of the most accessible shipwrecks of the Graveyard of the Pacific.

Beautiful sky and awesome light & reflections in your image Carrie - masterful capture of decay and quite a statement on the need to pay more attention to what gets dumped into our oceans. Love it!

Another simply amazing capture Carrie - I'm beginning to recognize "signature" Carrie now. Beautiful and melancholy at the same time. Shared.
