When you combine miles of coastline with occasionally stormy weather, you’re gonna have shipwrecks once in awhile. This photo captures the Clipper ship “North Bend” when it ran aground in 1928 on Peacock Spit, near Cape Disappointment. October is Washington Archives Month, and this year’s theme is Washington’s struggles and setbacks over the years and how the people of this state have overcome them.
