Oh yeah, there was nothing interesting on the backside.

>On January 12, 1936, early on Sunday morning, the freighter SS Iowa,
outbound from the Columbia River to the Atlantic coast via San
Francisco with 34 crewmen aboard, is driven onto Peacock Spit at Cape
Disappointment by hurricane force winds. The radio operator manages to
send a distress signal but the fierce storm will prevent rescue vessels
from approaching within range of the foundering vessel. Within a short
while, enormous waves break up the Iowa's hull and she sinks into the
sand with only her pilothouse, masts, and king posts visible above the
surf.
