Clarksdale Victory - Hippa Island

The Clarksdale Victory was an American Cargo ship 500 ft. long. It was travelling from Alaska when it went off course and hit Hippa Island right on the Western shores. It was Nov. 24, 1947 and 49 sailors perished. Four survived the tradgedy.
The hull is an obvious sight from a distance and having seen the wreck up close only once, its a spectacle not to be forgotten. As it remains a gravesite for the lost men, one can only think of the sailors and the rusted scrap metal is a monument for those lost. Incredibly, 5 men made it to shore, whereas 4 survived until rescue. 
It is hard to get on Hippa island as the weather and sea state is always the obstacle. I hope to visit the Wreck again.
