In January of 1887 the Austria, one of the
first Down-Easters built to compete with steel and steam,
struck shore on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula.
Her remains, scattered in the intertidal zone at Cape
Alava, were recorded by field school participants under
the direction of archaeologist Faith Haney. This documentary
- filmed in part by the students - illustrates the importance
of foreshore shipwreck sites, tells of the adventures
of a sea-going vessel, and takes the viewer on a journey
from the Pacific Coast of Washington State to the ports
of Bath, Maine.
