Shipwrecks of the Pacific Northwest Summary

Shipwrecks of the Pacific Northwest: Tragedies and Legacies of a Perilous Coast by Maritime Archaeological Society

Submerged stories in the Graveyard of the Pacific Thousands of ships have wrecked off the coast of Washington and Oregon. Shipwrecks of the Pacific Northwest will uncover the tragic tales, close calls and heroic feats of vessels that met their end off of the 150 miles of coastline between northern Oregon and southern Washington, including the mouth of the Columbia River where an untold number of shipwrecks are concentrated. This book will recount the most compelling of these historic shipwrecks. Some are infamous, while others are lesser known. The accurate history of the wrecks and stories of the people involved will be enhanced by new research and by the addition of recently available primary source material. These dramatic tales are uniquely tied to the present by their tangible remains.
