Mary D. Hume, Oregon

The Mary D. Hume was a steamer built at Gold Beach, Oregon in 1881.

The Hume had a long career , first hauling goods between Oregon and San

Francisco, then a whaler in Alaska and finally as a tugboat. She was retired

in 1977 and returned to Gold Beach. In 1985 she sank in the Roque River

and has remained there ever since as a derelict vessel on the shoreline.

Thank you for viewing and for your comments.

George,

I like the limited pallet. It really brings out the details & condition of the vessel.

Just don't invite me to go fishing !! This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

You captured the dilapidating boat very well, George. It was a good choice to go high-key and not trying to recover background detail. This way the boat is the real center of interest and B/W palette is enough to bring out the shapes and textures. Best regards. Peter
