| Notes | Feature article. By 1930, the heyday of canneries on the Oregon Coast was over. A cannery operated on the Rogue River, and another at Bay City on Tillamook Bay. The rest were closed. “Fishing is no longer limited to bays and rivers, for off-shore fishing fleets work up and down the coast outside these inlets. . . Salmon taken off the Oregon coast are delivered to three markets – Coos Bay, Yaquina Bay and the Columbia River. This running of troll salmon to relatively distant ports for landing has been made possible by the development of refrigeration technique aboard these ocean fishing craft.” (p.25) Instead of canneries, coastal sites had small cold storage stations. The article includes a b+w photograph of the Columbia River Packers Association’s new fish receiving and mild curing station on Yaquina Bay, which the article states is the best on the coast. The article includes an extensive description of the facility. |
