Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach, Oregon

Cannon Beach, Oregon, is an affluent tourist resort destination. In 1846, a cannon from the US Navy schooner Shark washed ashore just north of Arch Cape, a few miles south of the community. The schooner hit land while attempting to cross the Columbia Bar, also known as the "Graveyard of the Pacific." The cannon, rediscovered in 1898, eventually inspired a name change for the growing community. The cannon is now housed in the city's museum and a replica of it can be seen alongside U.S. Highway 101. Two more cannons, also believed to have been from the Shark, were discovered on Arch Cape over the weekend of February 16, 2008. Cannon Beach is recognized by its well-known landmark, Haystack Rock. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannon_Beach,_Oregon
