Garðar BA 64
Iceland's oldest steel-hulled ship, hauled onto a beach by Patreksfjörður in 1981 and left to rust, now a popular photo stop.
The ship was built in 1912 and served nearly 70 years as a whaling and fishing vessel. After retirement it was stranded on the beach at Skápadalur and left to rust. The hull is tall, so you can take photos around it, but please do not climb on or enter it. It sits near the junction on the road to Látrabjarg and Rauðasandur, so a 15–20 minute stop on the way is convenient.
