The Peter Iredale

[zyzyly]

The British 4-masted barque Peter Iredale was bound for Portland when she stranded on Clatsop Beach, on October 25, 1906 during a gale. Her captain had brought her too close to shore as he approached the Columbia River from the south. The wind and current drove the Peter Iredale onto the beach at about 6:00 a.m. All hands were saved, but the ship became a total loss.

Too cool! Will the M. Iredale be beached for a hundred years?

Goose Creek Symphony lyrics:

Has my ship run aground
Or have I finally found
That the ocean I was on
Was just a bay?
