Lost Castaways and Mystery Shipwrecks on the Oregon Coast
The north Oregon coast has more tales of lost castaways and mystery shipwrecks dating to the period before European and American exploration and settlement than the rest of the west coast combined. These stories, recorded from Indian oral histories by the earliest settlers, tell of unknown wrecks, lost castaways, and mysterious deserters on the Oregon coast between 1690 and 1780 - the period before the fur and whaling trades really took off in the north Pacific. Who were these castaways and survivors, and what ships did they come from?
