Bark Canada Shipwreck

6/22/2014

There are a lot of stories in Skagway about how the supply ship Bark Canada was shipwrecked on the shore of Long Bay over 100 years ago. I'm not sure which is true, or if anyone even actually knows the truth, so the story I tell my tourists is different every time (never trust a tour guide). The remains can only be seen when the tide is out, and its usually just a few fragments of the ribs of the ship sticking out of the water. We've been having some incredibly low tides this past week, so when I noticed the entire ship out of the water I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a closer look. Turns out theres a lot more left of the ship than I thought. Nearly the entire bottom of the boat is still intact, although its covered in seaweed and a thick coating of mussles. There are also some big iron pieces that I'm guessing are some sort of bracing.
