May 27,2008 Peter Iredale

While on the beach we drove down to the Peter Iredale shipwreck. This ship was built in England in1890. In Sept. 1906 it left Mexico and headed to Portland. When it got to the Tillamook lighthouse it changed it's course so they could enter the Columbia River. The ship ran ashore near Warrenton and they tried to move out to sea but got embedded in the sand and there it stayed. This is what's left of it after all these years.
