I'm a native Oregonian and have lived here all of my 60 years. I had never heard mention of Bayocean ever before this. Now I need to pay a visit to the Oregon Historical Society to see what more I can find out about it. Thank you for enlightening me.

@runningfromabear8354 10 ай бұрын

@@merryfergie no regard? They don't know what they don't know. I'm from the UK, my uncle scooba dives and has a house on the coast. When he bought it, he already knew from reports that it would be underwater by 2040, but he's already nearing 80, so he's alright with that. Interestingly, on a smooth winter day he found a medieval town about a mile off the coast sheltered a bit by a peninsula. Hard to see in goodconditions but talked to local university about it. There are many thousands of settlements either lost to ecological disasters (coastal degradation example) or economic (competing village became chartered market town and left other village to collapse) or disease (plague wiped out 9/10's of the village). Shit happens. I remember seeing a line of my family lived in the same hamlet for about 6 generations and suddenly picked up and moved to Gloucester, couldn't find any indication that the hamlet existed outside of church registrations in closest village and people don't remember the 17th century very well 😂. It's just impossible to foresee every issue. London was a mediocre Roman town that was abandoned for a long time. It wasn't some sort of foreshadowing, because it became a capital later.

Great video, Sidetrack! Thought you might be interested to know Bayocean's school and five houses were moved to the little settlement of Cape Meares, nearby on the mainland, shortly before the Bayocean Peninsula became an island in '52. One of the structures that was relocated is the rightmost house seen in the historic photo featured at 6:32. It was known as the "Hicks House" and was cut in half, moved across the water to the mainland on a barge, and then reassembled on its new site (reports make it sound like a second floor was added too). Four of the five moved houses still stand today (to my knowledge) and the school building now serves as the Cape Meares Community Center. Additionally, there's another house at Cape Meares that was built using lumber salvaged from the Bayocean Natatorium building. So, in this small way, the town of Bayocean lives on.

Cool to see the story brought to light again though, what a crazy idea to build a town on a sand spit against the Pacific. They have towns like this all over the east coast but we have MUCH bigger weather and waves here. Not to mention the 'good deeds' of the Army Corps Of Engineers.

I had a home once, a manor overlooking the sea. Upon the world, this was a vestige. Calling forward unto strangled ears. But when the skies turned dark, the house was taken by the sea. A pillar truncated. Cast down to the sea floor with all the other forgotten things. But I remember. Fleeting shells sinking ever slowly. Folding down, into themselves. Forever tearing along the seams of the sky until nothing remains except the eternal ghost. And you ask yourself… Could there be anything ever greater than this? You have always been here.

I only learned about Bayocean recently and my family has a house that looks directly at the peninsula at the entrance to the bay at Barview jetty. I’m not at all surprised the ocean eliminated the entire city. It’s treacherous to this day. The water there seethes and roils as it forces itself between the two jetties. I’ve never seen water behave that way before. It heaves and sinks, pushes and pulls, seems to be moving in every direction at once. I once watched a coast guard rescue in the entrance to the bay. An experienced fishing crew was smashed against the jetty and ended up in the churning, ice cold water. At least one person died. The others were taken to hospital, hypothermic and clinging to life. The whole thing was terrifying. The Oregon coast is staggeringly beautiful. Just stay out of the water and never turn your back on it. Sneaker waves are very real
