OR, Clatsop Beach, Oregon, RPPC, 4 Masted Bark Grain Ship Galena,Elmer Coe Photo

Description: This is a nice vintage early real photo postcard showing a scene of the Four-Masted Bark ship Galena of Liverpool grounded at Clatsop Beach near Seaside, Oregon. According to the Chinook Observer the Galena sailed from Junin, Chile, on the fifteenth day of September 1906, bound for Portland, Oregon, with about 1,150 tons ballast, consisting of refuse from the nitrate of soda works, and a crew of 30 hands.Their site has great information regarding this wreck. This is part of a collection of photographer Elmer Andrew Coe postcards I purchased a few years ago. Many have "Coe" in the negative but some of them do not have "Coe" in the negative. I am making the assumption that the collector who originally built this collection knew what they were doing when it came to identifying an image from Elmer Andrew Coe. Elmer Andrew Coe was a photographer from Astoria, Oregon who had a photography studio there from 1903-1911 at 110 11th Street in Astoria. According to historicphotoarchive website, he eventually gave up his photography business to open a merchandise store in Svenson, Oregon. Elmer Coe introduced Frank Woodfield to photography. When Elmer Coe died, his family sold most of his glass negatives to Frank Woodfield.
