Remains of the Mary D. Hume coastal freighter decay in the harbor of Gold Beach, Oregon.
Built in Gold Beach in 1881, the Hume served in a variety of capacities: as a California coastal freighter, an arctic whaler, a fishing boat in search of halibut, even an ocean tugboat, before retiring to Gold Beach in 1978. Her remnants remain there. [NOTE TO RESEARCHERS: The camera gps incorrectly places this image in the Central Cascade Mountains. It was shot in Gold Beach on the Oregon Coast.]
