ASTORIA-WARRENTON -- More than a century of water-logged history sits on the beach at Fort Stevens Park on the Oregon Coast.
The shipwreck of the Peter Iredale on Clatsop Spit is one of the most popular attractions in the area.
The Iredale, named for its British owner, ran aground Oct. 25, 1906, and has been whittled by waves since.
The four-masted barque had sailed from Salina, Cruz, Mexico, and was en route to the Columbia River when it encountered “heavy squalls” and a “thick mist,” according to a transcript from a naval court hearing later that year.

SEASIDE -- Walk any beach of the Oregon Coast, and you’ll find something new.
Walk the two-mile boardwalk in Seaside, and expect to discover the unexpected.
On this sunny day, walkers found bluebells scattered along paths through the sand dunes, and seashells on the boardwalk.
Four cousins had gathered sand dollars, clams and other shells for sale outside their grandmother’s home.
Asked what they would do with their new cash, seven-year-old Sarah Shields eyed the profits and said, “candy! maybe toys! maybe toys and candy!”
The cousins were from Oregon and California, and had found large sand dollars by the handful on Seaside beaches.
