SS Palo Alto aka The Cement Ship at the Seacliff State Beach in Aptos, CA
When I first got my quadcopter, I took footage of the ship during a trip to the Seacliff State Beach. I was still a beginner pilot, as evident by shaky footage, but I got some great shots of the ship regardless.
Then, more recently I heard from a coworker that the huge storm that came through during the first of February had moved the ship. He also said it washed all sorts of debris into the parking lots and onto the shore. The next day I brought my quadcopter up to get some footage, much better flying I might add.
When I got home, I compared the position of the ship to my older footage and I was amazed at how much it had moved. This is a compilation of that footage.

Flew my drone around the SS Palo Alto today at Seacliff State Beach in Aptos, CA. This WW1 era concrete ship was repurposed in 1930 and partially sunk off the pier, where it served as an amusement ship complete with a dance floor, cafe and swimming pool. Two years later the company that owned the ship went bankrupt and since then the ship has undergone decades of deterioration and structural failure. Today it is home to a fuck ton of birds.
