Here's my destination. In 1903 the Norwegian ship Prince Arthur (formerly the British 240' steel clipper Hoghton Tower, built 1869, and sailed around Cape Horn 5 times with officer Earnest Shackleton) was wrecked here with the loss of 18 sailors. The two who survived got to walk aimlessly through the same woods I did. Spotting smoke from a cabin, they found homesteaders Iver, Ole, and Tron Birkestol, all from Norway, so there was no language barrier. The local Makah took the survivors by ocean canoe to Clallum Bay.

This is the launch by the Ozette Ranger Station. I had heard that it was shallow and didn't have a dock, but that has changed.
