Many harbor towns have some sort of memorial to those lost to the sea. Charleston harbor’s statue was striking in how it captured the love of the sea in the old Salt’s face, as he mans the helm, while the storm waves are crashing over and taking him down.
Tidbit: We think of shipwrecks as being something from history, but in 2016, the Eagle III, a 40 foot crabber fishing boat, sank off the entrance to Coos Bay in 30 mph winds and 10 foot waves. Three sailors were lost that day.
Iām begining to think Oregon has captured your hearts and minds and that you might have found a new home šā¤ļøš
It is amazingly beautiful, but always soggy, so a nice place to visit, but we still love our mountain home:)
Love the seamanās face too! Sad we are still loosing people at sea.
