Astoria, Oregon, sat at the mouth of the Columbia River in 1914, and its economy rested on the river and the sea. Salmon canning, lumber, and shipping drove the town, and Astoria was known as one of the largest salmon-packing ports on the Pacific coast. Fishing boats, cannery crews, and sailing and steam vessels made the waterfront the center of daily work. The town had been incorporated for decades and was a county seat, with civic life centered on its streets climbing the hills above the river. A Columbia River landing like this one would have been familiar to residents as the place where the harbor's commerce and the town's population met.
