 Although badly damaged, "San Pedro" stayed afloat and helped to rescue "Columbia"'s survivors.Because of the very steep terrain on the coastal areas surrounding Shelter Cove, the highway builders constructing State Route 1 (the "Shoreline Highway") decided it was too difficult to build the coastal highway along a long stretch of what is now the Lost Coast.As a result, the small fishing village of Shelter Cove remained very secluded from the rest of the populous state, despite being only north of San Francisco, and is accessible by boat, via small mountain road, or by the small Shelter Cove Airport.
