SimpsonBrothers > Cement Ship at Seacliff Beach extends into the Pacific Ocean, joined to the Seacliff Beach pier. Known as The Palo Alto cement ship, you'll find the scenic ship located south of Santa Cruz off Highway 1, at Seacliff State Beach. Docked at the foot of a pier, Palo Alto has gone to the birds, so to speak. It was built at the Oakland shipyard in 1918 as a supply ship for the World War I effort. The war ended before she ever saw service and with time on her hands, she was sold to the Seacliff Amusement Company of Nevada, and towed in 1929 to what would later become Seacliff State Beach. A casino and dance hall, arcades and entertainment were featured on this monster party boat until its owners went belly up when the Great Depression rocked the world in the early 1930's. Today, the Palo Alto lays in pieces on the floor of the Monterey Bay, tenuously connected to a fragile pier which was damaged in recent storms.
