Description
This beautiful, ancient relic was a steamer built at Gold Beach, Oregon back in 1881, by R. D. Hume; a pioneer and businessman. The Hume had a long career, first hauling goods between Oregon and San Francisco, then as a whaler in Alaska, as a service vessel in the Alaskan cannery trade, then finally as a tugboat. She was retired in 1977 and returned to Gold Beach. In 1985 she sank in the Rogue River and has remained there ever since as a derelict vessel on the shoreline. 'Mary' is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
