The addition of Waterfront Park along the harbor in the 1970s provided a place for strolling, recreation and many festivals. 

To our left is the main mast of the eighteen ninety three USS Oregon, all that remains of one of the world's most gallant ships.

See Picture #, USS Oregon.

Over 120 years ago, this ship became famous for its unprecedented 15,737 mile cruise from San Francisco, through the Strait of Magellan at the bottom of South America, and then up to the coast of Florida in just 66 days. 

In 1898, she then fought in the Spanish American war in Cuba at the world famous Battle of Santiago and earned the title “Bulldog of the Navy.” She was a reviewing ship for President Wilson in 1919 and hung in there to play a part in the battle of Guam in 1944. She was scrapped in Kawasaki Japan in 1956.
