@oregoncoastexplored: THE PETER IREDALE SHIPWRECK: 120 YEARS ON THE OREGON COAST On October 25, 1906, the British sailing ship Peter Iredale ran aground on Clatsop Spit near the mouth of the Columbia River, just south of Astoria, Oregon. The four-masted steel sailing ship was attempting to reach the Columbia River when strong winds and rough coastal conditions drove it onto the beach at what is now Fort Stevens State Park. Fortunately, all 27 crew members and two stowaways survived the incident. Today, the rusted remains of the Peter Iredale are one of the most recognizable historic landmarks on the Oregon Coast, attracting visitors and photographers from around the world. October 25, 2026, marks 120 years since the ship ran aground. More than a century later, the wreck remains a powerful reminder of the dangers sailors once faced along Oregon’s rugged coastline.
