The Royston ship wrecks in the Comox Valley were intentionally sunk in the late 1930s to create breakwater to protect the log booming grounds of Comox Harbour. CLICK ON IMAGE for a larger view.
There are several wrecks, and the one above is the only one you can come close to from the shoreline. The other ones you can only get to by boat. When we went kayaking the other day, however, we paddled by the wrecks as well, which is where the shot of the Bald Eagle sitting on the rocks was taken (day 58). The eagles also seem to enjoy hanging out on the wrecks. This photo was taken a few days ago, you can see a Bald Eagle sitting at the very top of the wreck.
