Hey Patrol Guy......is that shipwreck on the beach on the Gulf of Alaska just east of Cape Yakataga and a bit west of the Bering Glacier east of Cordova? If not, I know where it's twin is. About 15 years ago, my old hunting partner and I were hunting moose in the moraine fields there and found a dead whale carcass that had washed up on shore. We could smell it at 300 feet and it had either 5 or 6 brown bears on trying to decide how to divy it up.....most awful smell I ever encountered. It was funny watching the bears reaction to us, not wanting to share with the mosquito that was buzzing around....lol

AKGrouch...yep, that's it. I read somewhere that maybe four barges broke loose durring the storm. Two had washed up and two sank, ..I think? If I remember correctly, they "recovered" one of them, but the cost was so high, they left this one.

That is a cool shipwreck.

I heard that one of the set netter's up the coast spent a good part of the summer salvaging deck boards off of it and hauling them away under his cub...I guess he's got a pretty nice cabin now.
