Description

European settlement of Coos County started with a shipwreck. The Captain Lincoln wrecked at the north spit of the Coos Bay in January 1852. The crewmen built a temporary camp out of the ship’s sails and named it “Camp Cast-Away.” This was once the primary white settlement within the area. The lads sooner or later traveled overland to Port Orford, where they told other settlers in regards to the Coos Bay and its many natural resources. By December 1853, Coos County was once established by the territorial legislature, and a couple of towns were founded; the history of the world had been completely altered by a single shipwreck.
