Throwback Thursday

 


For our second anniversary we went to Aptos, CA - a wonderful little beach town.


We were on the Rio del Mar Beach, but a skip down is Seacliffs State Beach with the sunken ship at the end of the pier.


The SS Palo Alto was a concrete ship built for service in World War I, but the war was over when it was finally complete.  It sat in a shipyard in Oakland before being moved here.

A pool, cafe, and dancefloor were built along with the pier, but the venue was never a hit.  The ship was abandoned and left to deteriorate.
