Download or read book Bayocean written by Jerry Sutherland and published by . This book was released on 2023-02-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1907, the developers of Bayocean Park promised the public a resort grander than any other along the Pacific Northwest Coast. Urbanites seeking a cool summer retreat quickly bought up lots, especially those on the sandspit's one-hundred-foot-high ridgeline, where the simultaneous views of bay and ocean were captivating. But Tillamook's remote location and an economic downturn led to extensive delays, receivership, and a less than grand resort. Despite that, many people fell in love with Bayocean. And, at one point or another, it featured a natatorium, three hotels, forty-two rental cabins, a two-story mercantile, two restaurants, three dance halls, an amusement pavilion, and fifty-nine homes. Reed College students ran the resort one summer, a military academy another. A commune livened things up during the Great Depression, as did Coast Guard war dogs during World War II. These and other events in Bayocean's history make this an intriguing chronicle, but the fact that nothing remains is why it matters. Erosion began pulling homes into the sea in the late 1920s, and it continued until a storm surge blew 3,000 feet of its base into Tillamook Bay in November 1952. Four years later, the Army Corps of Engineers built a breakwater to reconnect Bayocean to the mainland and prevent the same thing from happening in the future. But what remained of the town was destroyed in the process. And erosion continued, causing the last house to fall in 1960. It took another decade for scientists to figure out that the cause of the erosion was faulty jetty planning rather than natural forces. When Jerry Sutherland, author of Calvin Tibbets: Oregon's First Pioneer, heard about Bayocean in 2014, he read everything previously published about the catastrophe and then started looking for answers to questions raised while doing so. He also wanted to know more about the people involved, especially those who lost homes. Sutherland has shared some of his discoveries at www.bayocean.net and with the producers of two television documentaries. In this book, he brings it all together.
Download or read book Bayocean written by Sarah MacDonald and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-07-22 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can you imagine living in a place that is effected by weather, ocean currents, and decisions of land use board members. Bayocean was at risk of loosing it all and it was lost at a time when it was most vulnerable. Tillamook County lost a valuable asset, lost a beautiful quaint little community nestled on a peninsula of land that was effected by such outside forces that it could not survive and is trying to rise from the sand today but will not because of the decisions of board members and councils that dont want to be bothered with her any longer. To be left untouched and buried is a sad story told by one who lived there when the town was starting to fall and continued to fall until its total demise when burned and buried under the sand, in his quest to make this place not to be forgotten Perry Reeder and his daughter Sarah MacDonald, conjure up the stories of the past and tell the truth about what happened to this small coastal community, this beautiful place that had running water, electricity and cobblestone streets, hotels, stores of business, post office and much more. A community of loving families that struggled together but were left with nothing. The most important issue that seems to be ignored mostly by those who want to keep Bayocean under the sand is the issue of the South Jetty, if ignored will once again reek havoc on this beautiful peninsula, Cape Meares is more at risk than Bayocean. Its a sad thing to have to fight over who goes there or the issues of recreational activities over issues that will actually destroy the entire area, we need to stop the feuding and work together to keep Bayocean a place for all to enjoy. Ending the Bayocean wars for the last time, before it once again gets destroyed would be a feat in itself. In this book we hope you will come to know Bayocean a little better and understand the issues that surround her today and enjoy a little glimpse into the past as well.
Download or read book Bayocean Spit Tillamook Oregon Early Economic Development and Erosion History written by Thomas A. Terich and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bayocean sand spit lies along the northern Oregon coast approximately 70 miles south of the Columbia River. Work was begun on the construction of a large recreational resort on the spit in the early 1900's. At the outset, the resort appeared to have a promising future. However, a three-year delay in the completion of the railroad to Tillamook created financial instability and lawsuits which continued up to the depression of the early 1930's. There soon followed severe erosion of Bayocean spit leading to its breaching in 1952 and forcing the abandonment of the deteriorated resort. The erosion appeared to have been initiated by the construction and subsequent lengthening of a north jetty to the Tillamook Bay channel. Rapid sand deposition north of the north jetty indicated that the structure had blocked a predominant north to south longshore sand transport, thus depriving the spit of sand and resulting in erosion. Similar occurrences have been documented at other coastal locations. However, analysis of historical shoreline changes and aerial photographs taken in 1971, 1972 and 1973 show that sand eroded from beaches to the north and to the south of the jetty has been transported and deposited immediately adjacent to both sides of the structure. This symmetrical pattern of erosion and deposition on both sides of the jetty indicates a reversing longshore sand transport with a nearzero net annual drift. The shoreline conditions at Bayocean demonstrate that beach erosion can result, from the construction of a jetty transverse to a seasonally reversing longshore sand transport with a near-zero net drift.

Download or read book Some Recent Physical Changes of the Oregon Coast written by Samuel Newton Dicken and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the physical changes of the Oregon coast (from the California boundary to the Columbia River) which have occurred since settlement are discussed. Included are changes of the beaches and the immediate backshore, of the active dunes near the shore, and of the estuaries. Some discussion is of a more general nature, to place the specific studies in the proper perspective. The time span, arbitrarily chosen, is the period since white settlement, a little more than a century. This is the time for which historical records are available to document the nature of the changes. The purpose is to describe, measure, and explain some of the Oregon coast changes within the limitations of time and resources available. Special emphasis is placed on the beaches, dunes, and tidal marshes in the estuaries, where changes have occurred and are occurring. Many aspects of these three categories and many lines of investigation had to be left unstudied. (Author).
