The Mary D. Hume
A steamer built in Gold Beach, OR in 1881 from local timber. wiki-"The Hume had a long career, first hauling goods between Oregon and San Francisco, then as a whaler in Alaska, as a service vessel in the Alaskan cannery trade, then as a tugboat. She was retired in 1977 and returned to Gold Beach. In 1985 she sank in the Rogue River and has remained there ever since as a derelict vessel on the shoreline.

Thanks Zu, that was my intent. I used to see this freighter a lot as a boy, growing up in Detroit. It frequently was seen on the Detroit river. Quite a history behind it. I was surprised to see it docked and now a museum, right next to the Rock & Roll hall of fame. It was closed but would have loved to see that steam engine. I shot it with my fujifilm XF10, which I dropped on the concrete...luckily it fell flat on the lcd. No harm except dinged at the corners of the lcd. I took off my glove and the wrist strap got up in it...
