"The Bones of the Peter Iredale – Photo by Angi D Wildt"
Captured on the Oregon Coast at Fort Stevens State Park near Astoria, this photograph reveals the haunting beauty of the Peter Iredale shipwreck. Sunlight pierces the rusted steel frame, casting dramatic reflections on the wet sand as the Pacific tide recedes. A historic landmark since the vessel ran aground in 1906, the Peter Iredale stands as one of the coast’s most iconic and photographed sites — a testament to maritime history and the rugged beauty of the North Coast.
