The Point Reyes Beached

The Pt Reyes has been one of my favorite photographic subjects ever since I discovered her washed up on the shore of Tomales Bay many years ago. When I first shot her I didn't really know the significance of the boat and why she was there.
I have since found out that she broke away form her dock during a large Pacific storm. See the full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/the-point-reyes-beached-bill-gallagher.html #ThePointReyesBeached #BillGallagherPhotography #ThePointReyes #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt

@BGP the back end burned because some guy wanted to do night photography of it with pyrotechnics and didn’t know what he was doing. This was about 15 yrs ago or so. Glad he didn’t burn down the whole town!
@BGP This reminds me of a concrete ship, which became a tourist fixture for decades. It's now in the final stages of breakup.

@BGP ain't much left of that boat now
@pgavin Patrick, I need to get back out there.
@BGP me too, I see pics posted by friends that live out there that show it going fast
@BGP looks like the SS Minnow. Was Gilligan aboard?
