I took this picture of a foggy day at Boiler Bay, Oregon a couple weeks ago.
In 1910, the J. Marhoffer schooner ran aground here. Its engine caught on fire and the fuel tanks exploded, sending debris everywhere. During extremely low tides, you can still see its boiler, for which this site is named.

Lovely atmospheric shot!
Thanks, Sarah! It was a pretty stop.
Great shot; fog always adds a lot of atmosphere 😃 Probably similar conditions that led to the schooner wrecking!!!
Thanks, Jez! Yes, lots of shipwrecks around there due to fog.
