  • •NATIONALREGISTER BULLETIN Technical Information on Comprehensive Planning, Survey of Cultural Resources, and Registration in the National Register of Historic Places
    20 •NATIONALREGISTER BULLETIN Technical information on comprehensive planning, survey of cultural resources, and registration in the National Register of Historic Places. U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service Interagency Resources Division Nominating Historic Vessels and Shipwrecks to the National Register of Historic Places James P. Delgado and A National Park Service Maritime Task Force* INTRODUCTION For over two hundred years, the United States relied on ships as connective links of a nation. Vessels crossing the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Pacific Oceans, and our inland waters made fundamen- tal contributions to colonial settle- ment, development of trade, exploration, national defense, and territorial expansion. Unfortunately, we have lost much of this maritime tradition, and most historic vessels have gone to watery graves or have been scrapped by shipbreakers. Many vessels, once renowned or common, now can only be ap- preciated in print, on film, on can- vas, or in museums. To recognize those cultural resources important in America's past and to encourage their preser- vation, Congress expanded the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. Among the ranks of prop- erties listed in the National Register are vessels, as well as buildings and structures, such as canals, drydocks, shipyards, and lighthouses that survive to docu- ment the Nation's maritime heritage. Yet to date, the National Register has not been fully utilized for listing maritime resources, par- ticularly historic vessels. The National Register of Historic Places is an important tool FIGURE 1: Star of India, built in 1863, is now berthed at the San Diego Maritime Museum. for maritime preservation.

I Preface The actual date of the founding of the Oregon State Parks System is less than thirty years ago but the fundamental principles are much older, supported by a few of the leading park people of that time. They were an innovation as so little had been done by any state in the Union. The Oregon parks system owes its beginning to the thought of highway beautification advocated by many leaders of the state, including the Governors, the early State Highway Commissioners and Highway Engi- neers.

Valuable assistance came from persons concerned professionally with some aspect of coastal change. The staff of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, was most helpful, especially H.

  • Ashore and Afloat
    Ashore and Afloat A circumnavigational adventure under sail beginning in 1890 Presented as a talk to the St. Georges YMCA in Montreal, March 20, 1902 by James Thomson Aikman (1874-1957) Ashore and Afloat Note: Minor edits in italics have been made to the surviving manuscript, and place name spellings have been modernized for ease of recognition. Some of the appellations used would be considered offensive or politically incorrect today, but they should be considered in the context of the times in which they were written. Hyperlinks have been inserted for clarification of some terms. Notes on the manuscript imply oral explanations were offered on certain points, but those comments are not recorded for us. Otherwise, the words are as written by my grandfather, Captain James Thomson Aikman (1874-1957). A note about the name of the ship. Sailing records uncovered by Michael Wadsley of Tasmania unabiguously identify that the ship that made these voyages on these dates and to these ports was the ‘Peter Iredale’. This ship name does not appear on the copy of this story in my possession, although perhaps the name was given during the oral presentation in 1902. My family’s oral tradition was that JTA sailed on the Peter Iredale. It now seems certain that these adventures of 1890-1895 were on the Iredale. Of interest is that this account records the maiden voyage of the Peter Iredale, a vessel newly constructed at Maryport, U.K. in 1890. The episode about the ship becoming stranded at the mouth of the Columbia River becomes acutely prescient, given that vessel’s ultimate fate.

    Astoria fire in 1922 Misty fog over Astoria View from the Astoria Column Photo: Frank Woodfield Photo: Jimmy Granstrom Photo: Jimmy Granstrom From sailors and shipwrecks to goonies and ghosts – How the fires and storms rising from The Graveyard of the Pacific still reverberate through Astoria, Oregon (By J. Granström) The Oregon seaside town Astoria is no stranger to the supernatural or scary, as stories of drowned sailors and shanghaied fishermen still reverberate through its streets and shoreline. Astoria is part of the Graveyard of the Pacific, which is a somewhat loosely defined stretch of the Pacific Northwest coast stretching from Tillamook Bay in Oregon to Vancouver Island in Canada. Astoria is described by the Travel Channel as “a treacherous nautical region in the Pacific Northwest, where the freshwater of the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. Here, the ocean has claimed thousands of shipwrecks and countless lives, while unexplained deaths, diseases, fires and murders have impacted areas around the shoreline”. The town is often clad in a misty fog, which can be seen sweeping across the town and surrounding areas from the Astoria column located on the hillside overlooking the river and Pacific Ocean in the distance. From deadly storms to ravaging fires, which have reduced downtown Astoria to cinders on multiple occasions, this Nordic settlement has borne witness to tragedy and despair which still reverberates through its streets and shoreline. When the misty fog sweeps across its mysterious waters, one may still hear the echoes of the forlorn and the blessed ones who escaped the tragic fates that have paved the ground with pain and left a cloak of veiled shadows across the stunning scenery of this tranquil seaside town.
