More redwoods and beaches

Another gorgeous day with temps in low 70s and lots of blue sky.  We drove to nearby Henry Cowell State Park to view some more redwoods.

New Brighton beach

 The pier at Seacliff State Park was built to access a concrete ship that was intentionally sunk there for a tourist attraction in the 1920's.

The ship was built near the end of WWI but never saw service as the war ended and it was too slow for commercial use.

Model of the ship as it once looked.
