Overgrown Ship Hulk
Anacortes, WA - Overgrown Ship Hulk - A very old merchant ship that was scuttled so long ago (1966) that a small forest has taken up residence. The La Merced was a four masted schooner, commissioned in 1917. In the end it was turned into a breakwater by filling it with dredge; the woodlands that have grown are a natural byproduct.

on December 11, 2017I see boats beyond the ship hulk, but I can't think of where in Anacortes this is. Not that I know the area THAT well, but I sure never spotted this (or if I did, I didn't realize what it was!)

on December 11, 2017Now that's the coolest of cool! I thought at first look it was a big rock outcrop with trees on top. This is a fabulous find and shot.
