The Wreck of the Coos Bay | M.P. Pellicer

On October 22, 1927, the lumber schooner Coos Bay went wrecked outside Golden Gate off Mile Rock, while a thick fog covered the area. It had a crew of 30 and no passengers, but it seemed in the coming days that there was a 31st person on the ship.


The ship started as the collier Vulcan owned by the Pacific States Lumber Company. In it last incarnation it was named the S.S. Coos Bay. She was captained by B.W. Olsen.
