Yaquina Bay Bridge
Newport, Oregon. U.S. Coast Guard Yaquina Bay is the red-roofed building on the right.
The calm water in this image belies the treacherous conditions that boats encounter when crossing the Yaquina Bay bar. Last week a 42 foot fishing boat capsized during its attempt to enter the harbor, causing the loss of life for three crewmen. 14 to 16 foot waves were reported at that time.
