Wow!
Sad demise of that boat but, I love the photo.

Before Isle Royale (in Lake Superior) became a National Park in 1940, there were several fisheries operating on the island. Don’t know if it’s true, but the story I heard is that a local fisherman deliberately beached the boat. Not sure of his reason.

This reminds me of boats left derelict in my local waters. I would sail the back channels in my dinghy and strip these boats of any sound wood above the water, bringing home various strips and planks of Mahogany.
Lovely photo, thanks for the memory.
