Abandoned

The Peter Iredale was a four-masted steel barque saving vessel that ran aground in October of 1906 on the Oregon Coast. It was wrecked in the heavy fog and abandoned on the beach where she remains today.

Although she has been broken up by wind, wave and sand over the years, the wreckage lies quietly in the fog as if the part of Mother Nature observing the activities of little lives all.
