"The Peter Iredale was a four-masted steel ship that ran ashore October 25, 1906, on the Oregon coast en route to the Columbia River. It was abandoned on Clatsop Spit near Fort Stevens in Warrenton about 4 miles south of the Columbia River channel. Wreckage is still visible, making it a popular tourist attraction as one of the most accessible shipwrecks of the Graveyard of the Pacific."
And we saw it! We climbed on it!
Interesting fact: no one seems to care if you drive your car down to the beach, and drive for miles. There were dozens of cars, trucks, whatever, driving nonchalantly along on the beaches just feet from the water, as if it were no big deal at all. Very different from California beaches, for sure.
