La Jenelle, the shipwreck


With help from the locals we were able to locate the site of the La Jenelle shipwreck. The wreck, which had occurred on Oxnard's Silver Strand Beach in 1970, isn't much to look at in 2023. Time and corrosion have taken their toll. But if you look at old photos, you can understand that it was a big deal at the time: https://douglasmthompson.wordpress.com/2016/09/17/la-jenelle-shipwreck-off-ventura-county-coast-a-piece-of-living-history/

  1. You saw more than I did. Still, I saw a tiny bit and found it interesting.
