Galleon: 17th-century ship responsible for beeswax

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

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.
Subscriptions to the mag-
azine or abstracts of the ar-

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.

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.
