Oregon History

On August 8th, 1850, the schooner Samuel Roberts grounded on this bar during her maiden voyage to Scottsburg as part of the Klamath exploring expedition.
She was the first recorded American Vessel to navigate the Umpqua River.
While waiting here through the night for the tide to float the schooner free, her crew indulged in an excess of brandy, giving this landmark its name.
