It’s Not an Island – It’s a Wreck

On the road from Anacortes to the ferry terminal, you have the water off to your right.  As I glanced over, I realized that, what I thought was a spur of the land, was actually the wreck of a ship.  The prow of the hull was the thing that first caught my attention so, when I came back, I stopped off to take a closer look.

The ship is a decent size – it reminded me of the old clipper hulls.  It is a wooden hull and the shape of the bow is clearly very dated.  It has been there so long that there are trees and plants that are well established on it.  That was why I almost missed it.  It just looks like part of the land.  You could easily miss that it was a ship as I had done every time that I previously came this way.  Now it is just part of the harbor wall. More to come on this.
