The beached ship south of Mukilteo, called by the locals as “the shipwreck” is a refrigerator ship that was being towed from Seattle to Everett in 1956. It caught fire underway and was beached to keep it from sinking. The point where the ship was beached was a location that was used in the past as a ship salvage area. A enterprising individual used to tow old ships to the point, where he beached them, stripped them of all salvageable parts and then burned them. The ship is used by local fisherman as a navigation point, and even the Washington State Dept. of Fish and Wildlife lists “the shipwreck” as a landmark to denote the boundary between two Marine Fishing areas.

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

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…

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

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.
