On November 8, 1962, the famous Ford Rotunda stood in
Dearborn, Michigan for the last time: the next day, it is
destroyed in a massive fire. Some 1.5 million people
visited the Rotunda each year, making it the fifth most
popular tourist attraction in the U.S. (behind Niagara Falls,
Smokey Mountain National Park, the Smithsonian, and the
Lincoln Memorial).

Ford had commissioned the Rotunda for the 1933 Century
of Progress exposition in Chicago and had moved it to
Dearborn when the fair ended.

Peter Iredale in Seattle, around 1900.

Peter Iredale was a four-masted steel Braque sailing vessel that
ran ashore October 25, 1906, on the Oregon coast en route to
Portland, Oregon with 1,000 tons of ballast and a crew of 27,
including two stowaways. She was abandoned on Clatsop Spit
near Fort Stevens in Warrenton about four miles south of the
Columbia River channel.

The ship was named after Peter Iredale, who not only owned the
vessel as part of his shipping fleet, but was also a well-known
figure in Liverpool, England, where his business was located.

Wreckage the Peter Iredale is still visible, making it a popular
tourist attraction as one of the most accessible shipwrecks of
the Graveyard of the Pacific.
