NotesThis book is essentially a compilation of newspaper clippings, documents and family photographs. It gives the history of an important leader in the development of Newport’s harbor: the Yaquina Bay Dock & Dredge Company. The company was founded by Frank Chamberlain and the book gives some of the history of the Chamberlain family. The book is almost all clippings; it suffers from a lack of narrative or editorial commentary. It Is an interesting approach to the history of a family that contributed to the development of one of Oregon’s major ports.
