Every day something both extraordinary and ordinary happens on our waterways: the changing of the tide. We seldom stop to think about it, but this ordinary occurrence represents the influence of powerful forces on the Earth by celestial bodies far from us, in outer space.

We’ve talked here on the Ship Report about the Mississippi River and even the Columbia River here having low water issues with drought. Now we can add another big waterway to that list: the St. Lawrence Seaway, which borders Canada and the US in the Northeast, is experiencing the lowest water levels in a decade.

Today we commemorate the loss of the cargo ship Peter iredale, a pretty famous vessel around these parts. What’s left of her metal frame still sits on the beach at Fort Stevens State Park in Hammond.
Even though it was now generations ago, the Iredale fell prey to some of the same conditions that still plague vessels traversing our waters offshore: fog, sudden wind changes, and currents and waves that tend to drive craft of all kinds up on the beach, where they’re destroyed by merciless surf.
