Title
The shipwreck of "Jeane Taggert" rests on Topanga Beach
Description
A 67-foot, commercial, fishing boat, the "Jeane Taggert," rests on Topanga Beach after being stripped of all its useful gear. The boat hit the rocky point in the fog when its electronic navigation malfunctioned on August 5, 1969, at about 6:25 p.m. Attempts to tow the boat seaward were unsuccessful, and it broke apart. Captain Ernie Tate, of San Pedro, and two others waded to shore without injury.
