You might have seen ships that are wrecked and nature had taken over them. Here’s such a ship that has a forest of its own. This ship which is in Washington is on the western side of the Anacortes state. The ship La Merced, a four-masted schooner now acts as a breakwater. The ship which had been there from 1966 has now become a place that is full of trees, and now it is a part of history and in 1990 it had been placed on the National Historic Register.

This ship had been created in 1917 and from then it has had a good history and is one of the four remaining boats of its kind. Before this was used in the lumber trade between California and Portland it had been an auxiliary schooner during the time of World War I. And it has shipped oil from the US to New Zealand and Australias and when returning it had brought grains. This boat which is 232ft long had been transformed into a floating cannery and worked out of Alaska during the late 1920s.

In 1965 the boat had been sold for salvage, and then its masts were cut. The propellers, deck fittings, and even engines had been stripped as it was moved to the Lovric’s shipyard where now it is. Though it’s not on the waters today still the ship seems to be in a good way. The ship now stays as a breakwater. The owner of the shipyard Anton Lovric who is also known as Tony had been born in Croatia and then in 1960 had immigrated to the US. he who is an entrepreneur for a long time had transformed a seafood plant into a shipyard and marina. He has had the eye of repurposing this ship, he had brought the ship to its now place after passing a yar of buying the land. And from then the ship still remains beautifully. It’s also a famous place among photographers.
