Eureka, California - Shipwreck

I remember "Shipwreck." My family stopped there in the '70s, when I was a kid. It was a neat place. The last couple of years I have been trying to find out if it still existed. (I wasn't even sure if it was in Eureka). I wanted to take my wife and daughter there this summer on a trip along the coast. This is the first that I have heard or found any information about it -- which is sort of moot now, Since it (burned down??).

I think the ship was actually lying on its side. I remember feeding the seals out front. The gift shop was nice; it had a restaurant as well. [EZ, 08/06/2009]

Eureka, California - Shipwreck - Vague Recollections

Shipwreck was a square-rigged sailing ship built on land on the southern end of Eureka CA. It had a pond alongside with seals, and there was a coin-operated dispenser that sold fish to feed to the seals. Inside the ship was a very large aquarium and gift shops and such. I remember going there in the 1960s and 1970s, but I heard that it later burned down.

Anybody else remember? [Tony Dickson, 06/18/2009]
