In 1913 my grandfather went out on a rescue to the wreck of the USS Rosecrans on Peacock Spit. I have been over that bar and even on a good day it is treacherous. You have to have great respect for the men back in the day who had the courage to go into those conditions for their fellow man.
The wreck at 3:13 is the Peter Iredale an iron hulled sailing ship that went ashore in the early 1900s...in the 60s when I was a child much more of the wreck was still there and I can remember climbing into it with my brother, but it is just a shell now... I hope that answers your questions....
I'm paraphrasing, but Clark said when he first saw the ocean after two weeks of storms, "we are finally seeing the great western ocean, for I have not seen one pacific day since we arrived here", most of the areas such as dismal nitch were named by Clark, he hated the weather and showed it in these names...
Amazing series of production! Thank you!
Born in Ilwaco on the Washington side, many a night gillnetting in the 70. Beware the calm seas It's a trap for the light hearted

Why were the Chinook People not mentioned?
"Colonizers" is a racial slur.
