Shipwreck Beach Lanai Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
The name is older than the wreck people drive out to see. The Alderman Wood, a British ship, foundered on this coast in 1824; the American London followed two years later. By the time the Navy beached the YOGN-42 here in the late 1940s, the count was already a dozen. The trade comes hard out of the northeast, drives swell into a shallow basalt reef, and pins whatever it catches. The road in from Lanai City is dirt past the pavement's end and asks for four-wheel-drive. The wreck is offshore. The walking is long and quiet.
