“La Merced” still catches the eye and sparks the imaginations of visitors to the north shore of Fidalgo Island...the four-masted schooner has taken on new life as a breakwater in a case of creative recycling. Since it was moved into position in 1966, the boat has been overtaken by trees that grow in the sand that fills its hull. The ship is now a part of maritime history and was placed on the National Historic Register in 1990.
