A REMINDER OF LIVES LOST<br />

The wreckage of a fishing boat can be seen during a minus tide about 200 yards south of the south jetty of<br />

<strong>Newport</strong>’s Yaquina Bay. The remains are believed to be that of the Amber Dawn II, a 43-foot crabbing vessel that<br />

capsized in heavy seas on the night of Dec. 6, 1994 near the tip of the south jetty. All four people aboard lost their<br />

lives. A couple of weeks later, a portion of the boat washed ashore. Heavy equipment was brought to the beach in<br />

an effort to remove the wreckage from the surf, but the attempt was unsuccessful. It remains at the low tide mark,<br />

buried in a considerable amount of sand. (Photo by Jeremy Burke)
