Shipwreck Hunt Hike | Outer Richmond

Submitted by the Event Organizer

This remains among the most popular hikes around. Because of this, your guide Alex said he would try to schedule this event once every month “until people get very bored of it.” As if.

The hike is scheduled specifically during a time of low tide when tops of two drowned ships can be seen. You can see dynamited remains of an oil tanker and a mast of another sunken ship.

A ton of ships have drowned there in the past:

But, of these, only two of them can still be seen

• Golden Fleece, 1854
• General Crushing, 1858
• Granada, 1860
• Frank Jones, 1877
