Anacortes Shipwreck Days. Shipwreck Day is a giant garage sale, occupying Commercial Avenue in Anacortes from first light to 4:00 p.m. While officially opening at 8:00 a.m., a large amount of business gets conducted prior. A huge variety of âtreasuresâ is available for sale, with many vendors leaving with more stuff than they brought.
1983 The greatest tragedy ever experienced by a city happens when two fishing boats from Anacortes, with 14 aboard, go down in the Bering Sea on Valentine's Day. The sinking of the Americus and the Altair stuns city residents, who gather 3,000-strong in a downtown prayer vigil. Later, thousands attend the two memorial services held at Anacortes High School. Several hearings and studies later rule the boats were rendered unstable by modifications.
