Galleon: 17th-century ship responsible for beeswax Continued from Page 1 assert with confidence that the ship almost certainly wrecked before the 1700 Cascadia earthquake and tsunami. Cameron La Follette and her team of archivists then undertook wide-ranging re- search in the archives of Spain, the Philippines and Mexico to locate all available information about the Santo Cristo de Burgos of 1693. They discovered the history of ship Capt. Don Bernardo Iñiguez del Bayo, a complete crew and passenger list and important facts about the cargo. Researchers now know that the Santo Cristo de Burgos was carrying 2.5 tons of liq- uid mercury. If the wreck is located, test- ing for mercury will provide Large hunks of beeswax and other items that have washed ashore on Nehalem Spit, south of Clatsop County. Courtesy Oregon Historical Society confirmation of the ship’s identity. La Follette’s research team and the Beeswax Wreck Proj- ect recently published their findings in a special issue of the Oregon Historical Quar- terly. The magazine is a peer-re- viewed public history journal published by the Oregon His- torical Society. The Summer 2018 issue is available from the historical society’s museum store for $10.

Aesthetics: City entrances vital to improved look Continued from Page 1 “Eventually we’re not going to have a very pretty commu- nity to look at,” he said. The task force pinpointed several areas of concern: • Nuisance Code standards and ways to deal with derelict and vacant buildings. • Design standards on the city’s major roads: Main Avenue, the Marlin-Dol- phin-Highway 101 corridors, Harbor Drive, Pacific Drive in Hammond and the 104 Spur also known as Alternate Highway 101. • Standards for tiny homes, which are not addressed in the city’s building codes, and determining a place for possi- ble tiny communities. In addition to Mitchell, the task force was comprised of City Commissioner Rick Newton, at-large member Lylla Gaebel, and ministor- age owner Dan Jackson. h arBor d riVe C orridor A plan should be written that identifies the corridor boundaries and determines the feasibility for commercial and mixed-use development. Until then, the city should adopt design and devel- opment standards for new buildings. d oWntoWn Five items that are in prog- ress will improve conditions along Main Avenue in the business district: wider side- walks, street lights and more trees; more signs and bet- ter connections to adjacent trails; more parks and open spaces; creating a gateway at the four-way stop; and com- missioning public art or a fountain. Long-term goals are to place overhead utilities un- derground, develop a park- ing plan, devise a waterfront development plan and con- struct a pedestrian bridge across the Skipanon River. h aMMond Plans already are in the works for expansion of the marina, but additional im- provements would come through encouragement of mixed-use development along Pacific Drive with ap- propriate small-scale tourist facilities. The old city hall should be revitalized for public use as a museum or community cen- ter. City Commissioners set a work session within the next 90 days when they’ll meet with the Aesthetics task force and the Hammond Marina Task Force to hammer out ways to put the suggestions into action. “A lot of thought and ener- gy was put into this,” Mayor Henry Balensifer said. “We’re at a critical moment and junc- ture in the city … and need to create a vision and enforce that vision.” Improving the way the city looks is a top goal for the commission in 2018-19.
