From our campsite we had an oblique view of the wreck of the S.S. Palo Alto, a concrete ship built during WWI. During the war there was a shortage of steel, and they started making concrete ships. By the time this tanker was finished, the war was over, so it never saw duty. Someone bought it, docked it at the pier, and operated it as a nightclub in the 1930s. The company went bankrupt during the Depression, and the ship started falling apart. It broke into more pieces during a storm this past January.
