Seacliff Cement Ship Breaking Up-1/21/17-pmd

Saturday’s heavy surf took a toll on a Seacliff State Beach icon. The USS Palo Alto more commonly known as the Cement Ship suffered major damage due to waves as large as 30 feet. Sometime about noon the bow of the historic vessel broke away from the pier and the rest of the vessel and rolled over in the surf. The ship has been closed off to foot traffic for years and is now well on its way to becoming an artificial reef.
