Historische Notizen
In 1903 "The Italian bark Cavour (ex-Avonmore) was the first vessel of her nationality to be lost on the Columbia River bar. This vessel had been at anchor awaiting a favorable wind on the bar when a strong easterly came up on December 8, combining with a strong ebb tide, with the result that this vessel dragged anchor and stranded on the sands two miles south of Cape Disappointment. The bar tugs Wallula and Tatoosh attempted to free the square rigger but to no avail. The Point Adams lifesaving crew was successful, however, in removing Capt. Telemore Sofianos, the crew of 16 men, and the ship's dog. The vessel, owned in Genoa and built in Nova Scotia in 1881, became a total loss. This vessel had been outward bound with 1,038,000 feet of lumber for East London, South Africa. Gordon Newell, "Maritime Events of 1903," H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest., p. 95."
