Wreck of the Peter Iredale. Here lies the remains of the four masted British sailing vessel Peter Iredale which ran aground October 25 1906 during a heavy southwest wind. She was enroute from Salina Cruz Mexico to the Columbia River to load wheat when the disaster occurred. The impact of the beaching snapped the top of her masts vocering the deck with wreckage. A rescue boat from Point Adams landed all hands safely.
