Exploring Oregon

On Sunday, we went exploring some sites on the coast of Oregon. We first stopped by the Peter Iredale, a ship that sunk in the early 1900's. It was so cool!!

Battery Russell, Fort Stevens State Park It was constructed by the U.S. Army toward the end of the Civil war and remained active through World War II. The fort was built to protect the North against an English invasion from Canada, should the British join the Civil War on the Confederate side. In its long history, Fort Stevens never fired its guns in anger.

It was interesting to see how America was protected in that area during war.
