Shipwreck Point - Mukilteo

A friend reminded me of the abandoned ship south of Mukilteo.  Looking at it’s location, it’s at Shipwreck Point, once used to burn 26 old ships. Richmond Beach also had active ship building activity, something families would come out and have picnics to watch.
A mill was once at the point followed by a family who resided at Shipwreck Point since the 1920's. They later operated the ship breaking business. 
The ship at the point is the Pacific Queen, a minesweeper from WW2.  
The Mukilteo Historical Society has a great article on the family that lived there since the 1920’s. Read more
