Shipwrecks emerge from sand along Oregon Coast
The Peter Iredale is one of the most famous shipwrecks visible on the Oregon Coast. By Associated PressFLORENCE, Ore. (AP) — Beachcombers find endless treasures along the Oregon coast, from seashells to shipwrecks. State archaeologist Dennis Griffin says more ships may emerge from the sands this year along the stretch of Pacific coast long known as the "Pacific Graveyard." He said the wrecks of five already are visible along the south-central coast between Reedsport and Coos Bay including the Sujameco, the Sparrow, the Helen E, the Bella and the Olson. Hundreds of ships have wrecked along the coast over the years, and shifting sands are beginning to expose them. So there's no telling what may show up next. (Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.) |
