sediment at the mouth of the river. These deposits form sandbars that shift with the tides and currents and create challenges to safe navigation. This shoaling, or shallowing of the river depth is referred to as the bar where the river&#8217;s flow enters the river.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Winter storms at the Columbia River Bar create giant breaking waves, some over 40 feet tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even today&#8217;s largest cargo ships can be tossed around like bath toys in these fierce conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maritime professionals, some of the best in the world, navigate these dangerous waters daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of their skill and vigilance, crossing the bar has never been safer.

His entrepreneurial vision greatly influenced the development of the Pacific Northwest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Astor never personally visited Oregon or the Columbia River region, but his investment in the fur trade led to the founding of Astoria (initially called Fort Astoria) at the mouth of the Columbia River in 1811. His vision for Astoria was to establish it as a strategic fur trading post and gateway for a chain of fur trade outposts across western North America. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"735\" data-attachment-id=\"23923\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/img_9461-jpg\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9461-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1837\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1641385600&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.032258064516129&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_9461.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9461-300x215.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9461-1024x735.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9461-1024x735.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9461-1024x735.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9461-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9461-768x551.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9461-1536x1102.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9461-2048x1470.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Astor intended Astoria to serve as a clearinghouse where furs from the vast Northwest could be gathered and shipped directly to lucrative markets in China, bypassing middlemen and creating a direct trade route between the American West Coast and Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Astoria was the first American settlement on the Pacific coast and symbolized Astor&#8217;s ambition to expand American commercial and territorial influence westward following the Louisiana Purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"23940\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/img_9460-jpg-2\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9460-1-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1641385561&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.11111111111111&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_9460.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9460-1-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9460-1-1024x768.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9460-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9460-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9460-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9460-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9460-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9460-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">TONQUIN<br \/>Built at New York in 1806 by Adam &amp;

Despite early success, the War of 1812 disrupted Astor&#8217;s plans; the outpost was sold to the British North West Company in 1813, but the establishment of Astoria laid the groundwork for later American claims that contributed to the Oregon Treaty of 1846. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Astor&#8217;s vision combined commercial expansion, territorial ambition, and strategic trade positioning, marking him as a pioneering figure in the economic and geopolitical development of the American West.[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebsco.com\/research-starters\/history\/john-jacob-astor\">1<\/a>][<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Jacob_Astor\">2<\/a>][<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonencyclopedia.org\/articles\/astor_john_jacob\/\">4<\/a>][<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.loc.gov\/inside_adams\/2012\/07\/a-fortune-made-from-fur-john-jacob-astor\/\">5<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0\">Core Exhibits and Significance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The museum highlights the perils of the Columbia River Bar, notorious for its shipwrecks and danger\u2014earning its moniker &#8220;Graveyard of the Pacific.&#8221; Interactive exhibits and dramatic dioramas, such as a Coast Guard boat engaged in heavy seas, bring these stories to life and underscore the region&#8217;s treacherous maritime environment.<a class=\"inline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crmm.org\/visit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">crmm+1<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"23880\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/img_9375-jpg\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9375-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1641380346&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_9375.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9375-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9375-768x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9375-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9375-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9375-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9375-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9375-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9375-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Thousands of vessels have been lost Since 1792 approximately 2,000 vessels-including over 200 large ships\u2014have sunk at the Columbia River bar, and more than 700 people have lost their lives to the sea. These dangers have earned this area the title &#8220;Graveyard of the Pacific. Mariners agree that the combination of high seas, a mighty river, and shallow, shifting sand bars make the Columbia River bar one of the most dangerous bar crossings in the world.

These pelts, highly prized in China, could in turn be traded for tea, silk, and porcelain on the return leg to Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"23896\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/img_9468-jpg\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9468-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1641385939&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.16666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_9468.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9468-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9468-1024x768.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9468-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9468-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9468-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9468-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9468-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eskimo.com\/~mighetto\/murrelet\/Wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_9468-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Columbia Rediviva typically sailed alongside the sloop Lady Washington.

class=\"wp-element-caption\"> final moments of the U.S. Exploring Expedition vessel Peacock as it attempted to cross the Columbia River bar in 1841. Captain Hudson and crew were saved through their heroic efforts but the Peacock was a total loss. Later, the Commander of the expedition, Charles Wilkes stated:<br \/>&#8220;there is one difficulty that will ever exist in passing over the bar, and this, nothing but an intimate acquaintance with the locality will remove. I allude to the cross-tides, which are changing every half-hour. These tides are at times so rapid, that it is impossible to steer a ship by her compass, or maintain her position&#8230; the safest time to cross the bar is when both tide and wind are adverse; and this is the only port, within my knowledge, where this is the case.&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bar Wrecks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Schooner Americana<br \/>Carrying a load of lumber bound for Sydney, Australia, she disappeared on February 28, 1918, soon after crossing the bar. No trace of the ship or her eleven crewmen was ever found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Tuna seiner Bettie M.<br \/>The ship ran aground on the sandy shoals of the bar near Jetty A on March 20, 1976.<br \/>The crew of ten was safely evacuated by a Coast Guard helicopter, but the boat and her catch, 900 tons of tuna, were a total loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Schooner Champion<br \/>She was outward-bound from the Columbia on April 15, 1870, when the wind died and currents swept her onto the north spit. Two drowned trying to escape the wreck. A third crewman washed ashore the next day lashed to an overturned lifeboat, barely alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Freighter Laurel Outbound with a cargo of 7 million feet of lumber, Laurel was swept onto Peacock Spit on June 16, 1929. Initial Coast Guard rescue attempts were foiled by spilled lumber. When the ship broke in two, a 19-year old seaman drowned; the rest of the crew was eventually rescued. The ship&#8217;s captain refused to abandon ship, remaining on board for 54 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Fishing boat Electra<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was stranded inside the bar on Clatsop Spit on January 26, 1944. The crew was rescued, but several attempts by the Coast Guard to pull her off the spit were unsuccessful. One year later her mast could still be seen sticking out of the sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Steamship Francis H. Leggett<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Leggett was steaming past the Columbia River on her way to San Francisco with a cargo of railroad ties on September 18, 1914. A tremendous gale struck, and she went down 60 miles southwest of the river&#8217;s mouth with a loss of sixty-five lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. steamer Generat varren<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she started foundering in a gale, Captain Thompson decided there would be more chance of survival if the ship was beached. Run aground at Clatsop Spit on January 18, 1852, the ship was pounded to pieces by the surf and forty-two lives were lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. Bark Harvest Home<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sailing to Port Townsend in a blanketing fog, Harvest Harveck Home ran aground on North Beach Peninsula, just a few hundred feet from a farm, on January 18, 1882. A defective chronometer had led the captain to set the wrong course. The crew walked ashore, and the unsalvageable vessel was abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9. Sidewheel Steamer Great Republic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With more than 1000 people on board, the Great Republic ran aground on Sand Island in the early morning of April 18, 1879. Throughout the next day, passengers were evacuated as the ship slowly broke apart. Eleven crew members drowned during the evacuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10. Freighter Baby Doll, 1955; crew saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11. British bark Cape Wrath, 1901; 15 lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>13. Schooner Carrie B. Lake, 1886; 3 lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>14.
