    Westoe Colliery in the distance close to the coast. The massive head gear can be seen above the shaft and coal conveyors to the left. A mine which should never have closed..

    A large area already been levelled. Would that have been housing???
  • optimal chicken said:
    Don Tate A fair bit yes. I'd say about a third of that open space still survives - possibly less.

    Yes, I think this one is begging to be on an OSU Archives poster... This one, with men inside a ship they are building, is pretty amazing as well. Tiah

    This is the tug Oneonta. She was involved in saving the three survivors (out of a crew of 36) of the wreck of the Rosecrans at the mouth of the Columbia River in a gale in January of 1913. This operation was carried out in up to 40-foot seas. The crew received gold lifesaving medals from the US Coast Guard and the Oregon Legislature adopted a resolution commending each of the crew by name. -- Seen on my Flickr home page. (?)
