Shown about three weeks after being refloated, the sail ship Perseus rests in a salvage basin in Long Beach, California in the summer of 1984. In November of 1985, while being moved south by her young owner, Perseus was caught in anchorage in Dana Point, California when a storm came ashore. The classic ship broke anchorage and was driven ashore and broken to splinters on the rocks. Pieces of the vessel, including the plank on which her name was inscribed were all that remained of what had been a hopeful salvage operation.

November 30, 1985 - very near the end.

A small section of Perseus' bow still bearing the ships name.
