The SS Dominator ran aground in March 1961. Fifty-two years later, the debris is strewn along the Palos Verdes coast.

I knew I was almost there when I started seeing this.

    Thanks so much for these pics, I grew up in Palos Verdes and Portuguese Bend, and the ocean and beaches there are my best memories. Real nostalgia.
