Tillamook Bay Oregon Ships Sailing 1918 Real Photo Postcard

Tillamook Bay, located on the northern Oregon coast, has historically served as a significant maritime gateway for the region. Its deep waters provided access for early shipping, crucial for the development of Tillamook County's industries, particularly logging, fishing, and dairy farming. The presence of both a sailing vessel and a steamship in the bay suggests the early 20th century, a transitional period in maritime transport where traditional sail gave way to more efficient steam-powered vessels.
