The Mary D Hume, discarded on the shore of the Rogue River at Gold Beach, Oregon, isn't a wreck per-se. She didn't crash here; she's simply been decaying where she was left. This understated ruin might not look like much, but she's incredibly old; over 140 years old, and hold the title of being the longest serving commercial vessel on the West Coast, having sailed the most lucrative whaling voyage in American history, and nearly having claimed the record for longest Arctic whaling voyage at 6 and a half years.
She was nearly a museum ship with the Curry County Historical Society putting a good effort into preserving her, but between faulty equipment and legal fees, the effort ran out of funds before the ship was even given a real chance.
There isn't much drama to this wreckage, but simply a story worth telling before it's forgotten completely.
