    "Timbers from famed Beeswax shipwreck found on the northern Oregon Coast

    No one believed Craig Andes when he said he found pieces of a shipwreck
    that resisted discovery for centuries in sea caves north of Manzanita.

    But Andes, a commercial fisherman based in Tillamook County and an avid beachcomber, persisted. Samples of the timbers he found sticking out of
    the sand in the caves were eventually tested and dated. The timbers are
    now believed to belong to the wreck of Santo Cristo de Burgos, a Spanish galleon also known as the Beeswax for the valuable wax that formed part
    of its cargo.
