More Shipwrecks
Here’s one in Saint Lawrence bay, Quebec…
…a beached wreck off the Washington coast…
…and finally a super-cool submerged ship in the river Clyde, near Glasgow! (it’s great posting Scottish things
)

The Washington shipwreck is in Mukilteo on northern Puget Sound. Local fishers use the wreck as a landmark — “there’s good bass north of the shipwreck,” “good catch between ferry and shipwreck”, etc. Google for “mukilteo shipwreck”.
I think the Scots one is the Captayannis
One source I found says that ship is lying on its port side, and that certainly looks like what the one in the pic is doing.
The Mukilteo shipwreck isn’t really off the coast either, its on the Puget Sound.

Paul,
I think you’re right! From a couple of sources…
> The Captayannis sugar boat has lain on her port side on a sandbank since January 1974 after coming to grief during a gale. The cargo of sugar was lost but due to insurance complications the boat has never been moved.
Aye you are right, i live just to the right of that picture. See the boat all the time on from the train. Not something id thought to have been classed on a “sightseeing” feature
Are these abandoned wrecks, or are they just resting? This is Basra waterway, with plenty of traffic (scroll/zoom to see dozens of ships of all sorts), but these two are just lying there on the beach without any port facilities visible…

Looks like a have submerged ship
The Washington SHipwreck is really not a shipwreck. In the book Picnic Point Pathways, they explain how this is from someone who bought old ships and salvged metal and stuff off of them in 1929. They left the frames on the beach there.
Anyone know the name of the Mukilteo wreck? Closest you can get to it without trespassing on the property is at Picnic Point, a ways from Richmond Beach where many old wooden coasters ended their life. It is somewhat intact, with most of the bow gone, but the stern is resting in water
This is also a nice one… Quite a distance from the shore, right in the dessert of Namibia… Imagine you just survived the storm that whased the ship ashore, and now you realize you are in the middle of a desert, miles and miles from the civilized world…

The location in Googlemaps
I went out to see the beached ship off of Mukilteo, WA, and I found it is on private property, and is not really accessible. We broke the law by walking the railroad track out to it, but the boat it’s self is on a privately owned beach.
I posted about it (w/ pictures) here: http://adameros.livejournal.com/2585109.html
