The rusting bones of a ship wreck on an Oregon beach... |
The vessel ran aground in 1906 while trying for the mouth of the Columbia River during a squall. No lives were lost. All of the crew were rescued.
The captain's final words to the ship were: ""May God bless you, and may your bones bleach in the sands."
His understanding of metallurgy was a bit murky, I guess. For the past 150 years, the bones of the Peter Iredale have been quietly turning to rust.
