The Wreck of the Peter Iredale

[jvforever72]

Another excellent video Mr Pappy.

I can't imagine how difficult it was back then, now people run to the safety of air conditioning at the first sign of a bead of sweat on their forehead

[PappyStu]

@jvforever72 Our "hard Times" don't match up yet but they might eventually...

[jvforever72]

@PappyStu

When we can't drive somewhere, communicate on a global scale in almost real time, enjoy the wonders of refrigeration, bask in the brilliance of air conditioning, rely on fossil fuels to maintain our electricity, then maybe we will know what it was like.

A crisis now is someone having to wait an extra 2 seconds to get served at a restaurant. At the 5 second mark, it's a catastrophe.

Go hunt for your own food you fat bastard( in reference to that guy, not you )

[PappyStu]

@jvforever72 Well I'm going out on the water for some salmon so maybe I freeze some in case VBG

Wow. I've been going there since I was a kid and I've never known what it was called or what its story was.

[teddybeareleventeen]

Beautiful and eerie. Another piece of history that's almost gone.

[PappyStu]

@teddybeareleventeen She wears and rust away by the second to join her crew...

[robertpina99]

Two stowaways were on board that fateful day. This may very well be where the term "bum luck" originated. 

[PappyStu]

@robertpina99 Yes I learned that two... Just wrote a new poem for this more topically appropriate...

[MrRandomWritings]

I love shipwrecks - something eerie but fascinating about them

[PappyStu]

@MrRandomWritings As you know I'm always knocking around old abandoned places but I suppose it is the sailor in me which leaves me empty and forlorn at wrecks of vessels. Only one ship remains I served aboard and oddly she was the eldest of them all... The rest are at the sea's bottom where I will join them in due time...
