Sad ending for a proud ship- the Mary D. Hume

Shaun Loc: Tucson, AZ
 
During our annual pilgrimage from Tucson to Lyle, Washington, we tried to enjoy the 3 or 4 day journey as much as the time at the cabin. We loved driving up Hwy 1 along the Oregon Coast even though it added a bunch of miles to the day's drive. In the town of Gold Beach, Oregon the remains of the Mary D. Hume are located right next to the highway on the north side of town and every year we have been watching the deterioration of the ship. Since these shots were taken prior to the Covid epidemic, I can only imagine what she looks like now but after reading the history of this vessel, it is sad to see her in this condition. I thought it was very nice that the city erected the sign detailing the historical journey of this once proud ship. If anyone has a more recent photo I would love to see what is left now.

The boat looks a little worse than it did 10-15 years ago. Lyle - grew up in White Salmon.

The Oregon Coast is a beautiful drive. IMHO, worth the diversion.

Beautiful but sad capture. Unfortunately sentient or non-sentient it happens to all of us sooner or later

Last I took photos of the Mary D. was in 2001, a lot better shape then, everything was in place as it should be. Didn't have the history on a fancy sign back then.

Thanks for all the favorable replies - I'm glad you enjoyed the history lesson. Yes, the Oregon as well as the Washington coast are target rich environments for photographers. Even when the weather is bad there are great photos to be made.
