The fishing vessel Shirley R has been a familiar sight in Westport, WA, but after years on the water, it met its unfortunate end—sinking at the Westport docks. The vessel had reportedly been underwater for about a month before crews worked to haul it out.

The event drew attention from the local community, with many reflecting on its past and others watching the extensive efforts to remove the boat from the water.

Rising 107 feet above the coastal town of Westport, Washington, the Grays Harbor Lighthouse has guided sailors through the Pacific’s unpredictable waters since 1898. Once perched 400 feet from the shore, shifting sands have pushed the coastline nearly 3,000 feet away, yet the lighthouse remains an enduring symbol of resilience and history.

Beyond its breathtaking panoramic views and intricate Fresnel lens, the lighthouse hides secrets in its long-lost stones, many of which were scattered and later recovered by dedicated preservationists. These relics, some engraved with latitude and longitude coordinates, tell silent stories of maritime navigation from a bygone era.
