Description:
The wharfs at Cathlamet looked pretty sad. The once bustling port is just a shell of its former shelf. It was once, however, a popular place. The Wahkiakum tribe occupied the town before the white traders moved in and infected them all. By the 1830s all that were left were the interloping fur traders. There isn’t much now except for some rusting warehouses and derelict boats.

Here is another view of Columbia history from a not-so-derelict boat taken a few moons ago.

Cool picture, Robert. Were you in your really, really big boat or some other lesser craft?

How do you squeeze in there, Robert? How far inland can you go?

We only go up to Portland Oregon. The bar at the mouth of the river is notorious when the river flows hard against incoming Pacific swells. It is one of the only places in the US where ship pilots are landed aboard the vessel by helicopter.

Hmmm...so maybe Capt. Meares was not that far off when he dubbed the land at the mouth 'Cape Disappointment'?
