(Port Orford, Oregon) – One of the few shipwreck chunks you can see on the Oregon coast sits at Port Orford: the propeller from the Cottoneva. Its rusted, curmudgeonly shape survives almost 100 years on now, there as a fascinating little tourist attraction near Battle Rock, slightly haunting but always firing up the imagination.

It was February of 1937 that the Cottoneva wrecked on the shores of the southern Oregon coast town, a 190-foot schooner that was loaded up with lumber and got hit by a massive storm that the crew had just barely missed being informed about. It s one of those lucky shipwrecks of the Oregon coast: no lives were lost, and the men aboard even got their belongings back. Yet it created some interesting legal wrangling afterwards and somewhat echoed down the decades in that manner, getting brought up again as a legal precedent in 1979.
