The story of one of America's greatest natural treasures.

Once an unknown spot on the world map, the Oregon Coast has been the site of both inspiration and tragedy over the course of its history. A driving force of America's Western migration, the rise of logging and fishing industries that sustained new settlers also contributed to the devastating decline of Native people and their way of life. The industrial age brought steamboats, railroads, and roads for automobiles to the area and, along with them, a blossoming tourism industry. Preservation efforts rose to the forefront as visitors and locals sought to save the unique facets of the coast for future generations.

Join author Gary Hayes as he explores the maritime heritage of one of the most spectacular places on earth, the Oregon Coast.
