“shanghaiing” conjures up tales of the sea - - of forced voyages , secret liaisons , and oceanic crossings . while fully understanding and drawing upon the romantic side of these tales , mark strecker sets out to undertake a more scholarly examination of the phenomenon . his work shanghaiing sailors : a maritime history of forced labor , 1849 - 1915 “presents not only a comprehensive history of shanghaiing , which peaked roughly between 1850 and 1915 … but also examines the nineteenth - century seafarer’s world and the circumstances that created the perfect storm of events which made shanghaiing a lucrative business” ( p . 1 ) .
by 1900 shanghaiing was still a real danger due to increased trade and gold rushes in the klondike and australia . in the early 20th century progressive lawmakers passed a series of laws regulating the practice of sailor recruitment . furthermore police and the secret service came down hard on boarding masters to end the practice of shanghaiing . in 1915 the seaman’s act was passed ending shanghaiing by making the practice a federal crime and instituting stiff penalties for those convicted .

the role of crimps and the practice of shanghaiing resulted from a combination of laws , economic conditions , and practical considerations that existed on the american west coast in the mid - 1800s . crimps flourished in port cities like

but shanghaiing - - drugging a man and then kidnapping him to work on a ship - - was real . it was commonplace . a ninenteenth - century sailor ' s experience of san francisco generally involved the process of being kicked back out to sea again .
after his release from jail , levy went right back to his old tricks , shanghaiing sailors and relieving them of their money . he and his runners beat up a ship captain and one of his sailors because they had hired a sailor without levy ' s consent .
with the cooperation of police , politicians , and big business leaders , these riverfront neighborhoods became more notorious than the
barbary coast
. the
shanghaiing trade
was not just confined to portland ' s downtown . instead , it existed along the waterfront in a network of
shanghai tunnels
, with some areas more extensive than others . oral tradition has kept the history of the
portland underground
alive . today , 150 years after
shanghaiing
began at this former
stumptown
along the willamette river , you can still view
1 ) the
shanghai tunnels heritage tour
- - - which is the main tour given and involves the history of shanghaiing in portland . you ' ll leave knowing more about the shanghai trade in the
city of roses
than you ever considered wanting to know .
to shanghai is ( 1 ) to kidnap someone for service as a sailor , especially by drugging them or using force ; ( 2 ) to use fraud compel someone to do something ; or ( 3 ) to kidnap . inflected , the verb makes shanghaied and shanghaiing . the s is uncapitalized .
of all the shanghaisters of water street , tommy hadden was the best . the barkeeps in the business of shanghaiing sailors called this salty little man with a wandering eye the lime juicer , because he could drug drinks with chloral hydrate as easily as squeezing a wedge of lime into a mug of grog .
as the demand for sailors grew in the late 19th century with san francisco’s growing importance as a port city , the practice of shanghaiing , or the kidnapping of eligible men to be sailors on outbound ships , became common . while occasionally wildly exaggerated , there is some truth in the prevalence of these accounts .
historians of the old town district have confirmed that shanghaiing and crimping occurred there , along with other criminal and unsavory activities , but they have not found evidence of any network of tunnels linked to them . those who tour the so - called shanghai tunnels today walk into a basement , not through any iniquitous tunnels .
jones says his primary job has been uncovering the “real” history of human trafficking in portland , but his belief in the supernatural has lost him credibility amongst his peers . portland historians agree that the city has a dark past and that “shanghaiing” did happen in portland , but the vast majority do not believe that it actually took place in the tunnels .
this is quite understandable : the concept of shanghaiing was created on a very specific context among specific people : sailors in 1850 . even though it expanded to mean
kidnap
, in spain this has never happened in a large scale ( as far as i know ) , so there has not been the need to create a word to define it .
captains also paid levy a fee for each man received , sometimes as much as $ 50 each . once a sailor found he would be making the trip and working virtually without compensation , he would be somewhat reluctant to fulfill his commitment . that ' s when shanghaiing came in . levy found various tricks , most of them illegal , to force them aboard .
the man in pulling the cork and joining in our conversation butted the matter of shanghaiing clean out of my mind . calico jim , who now sat at the same table with us , brought his glass and very suavely invited himself to join in our conversation . he gave us indeed from a special bottle a good swig - - ‘the best’ he said , complimentarily .
articles published between 1904 and 1935 also support blalock’s claims . these articles , most from the oregonian , describe underground systems like the shanghai tunnels being found in portland , seattle , san francisco , and vancouver , british colombia , but never reference the practice of “shanghaiing . ” the tunnels were generally in the news for being used for chinese gambling houses and opium dens .
to accomplish this , strecker divides his work into ten chapters . they are thematically rather than chronologically organized , and cover a great deal of ground - - chapter 3 , for example , ranges over the topics of shipboard flogging , mutiny , piracy in hawaii , and desertion in china . the most relevant chapters to strecker’s central theme of shanghaiing are the fourth , sixth , and tenth . chapter 4 covers crimps , the common term for those who did the shanghaiing - - whether by false advertising , forced signature , or simple kidnapping . chapter 6 provides various brief case studies of those who were shanghaied , from england to australia and brazil . the final chapter covers the legal history of the court cases that ended the practice in the united states in 1915 .
since the 1970s , a myth has grown up that propounds the existence of a secret network of tunnels beneath the streets and buildings of the portland waterfront . the tunnels are said to have been constructed to support the illegal practice of forcibly supplying crews to outbound sailing ships in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries . the practice was known as shanghaiing , and the alleged tunnels are known today as shanghai tunnels .
in his twenty - five - year - long career , the police figured that hadden had kidnapped at least 1 , 000 sailors , but in addition to shanghaiing , tommy excelled in both murder and evading the law . like the time the lime juicer crushed a man’s skull with a slung shot in 1852 and walked away scot free . hadden’s secret of how he stayed out prison was no secret at all .
the pro shanghai - by - tunnel’s most prominent defender is the creator of the shanghai tunnel tours , michael p . jones , an outspoken proponent of the narrative who’s been leading tours since the 1990s . jones has long asserted a narrative of the underground shanghaiing trade , recently opening up a previously closed section of tunnel , and preparing to release a book he says will support his claims once and for all .
finally , shanghaiing was made possible by the existence of boarding masters , whose job it was to find crews for ships . boarding masters were paid
by the body ,
and thus had a strong incentive to place as many seamen on ships as possible . these factors set the stage for the crimp : a boarding master that uses trickery , intimidation , or violence to put a sailor on a ship .
blalock wrote in his recent book , portland’s lost waterfront : tall ships , steam mills , and sailor’s boardinghouses , that “shanghaiing” took place above ground . according to blalock , drunkards would commonly be coerced into signing a chunk of their lives away to ship captains , who would take the drunkards to sea as slaves . blalock claims this was common knowledge and lack of law enforcement made it unnecessary to take the crooked behavior underground .
lots of stuff in this post . we rarely get to visit a big city with william least heat - moon ( lhm ) because he tries to avoid them . no avoiding portland , however . we ' ll look at some of the nefarious history of shanghaiing in portland ' s past , and relate it to human trafficking today . there are , count ' em , two musical interludes in this post . what a deal !
in 1906 , shanghaiing came to an abrupt halt . new laws prohibited any runner , shipping concern , or steamship agency from hiring a sailor who was drunk . the law also stated that once a sailor was on board , he could leave for just cause by bringing it before the board of commissioners . steep fines , from $ 200 to $ 500 for each occurrence , were imposed against those who failed to obey the law .
widely - shared tales of “shanghaiing” tell of drunken patrons falling through trapped doors in seedy bars to wake up enslaved as seamen ; men lured by prostitutes into underground holding cells where they’d remain until being sold to the next ship that docked in town ; and women drugged and kept in solitary cells underground in conditions meant to break their will . the unscrupulous practice took its name from the destination many unfortunate victims found themselves en route to .
shanghaiing was normal practice in iceland during the 1950s and 60s as there was a lack of personnel for the nation ' s fishing fleet , due to a large influx of faroese fishermen willing to work for less . fishermen would be given vast amounts of alcohol and the boats would leave when the sailors were sleeping or too drunk to realize what was happening . as the faroese fishermen returned to the faroese islands during the 1970s the practice stopped [ citation needed ] .
on the west coast of the united states during the 1800’s there was a high demand for sailors , deckhands , and other ship laborers . however many sailors abandoned their ships and crew in order to find riches in the gold fields of california or the klondike . with a shortage of crewman but a greater need for sailors , unscrupulous captains resorted to the practice of shanghaiing ; the involuntary enlistment of men to a ship’s crew through either coercion , force , or trickery .
blood money ( which , though outlawed partway through the century , continued to be paid when necessary ) was just part of the crimps ' inducement . sailors were allowed two months advance on their wages before a trip , to pay off debts and to outfit themselves for the trip . the sailor wasn ' t given the money : he might abscond . his creditors got it directly from the ship . this was the taproot of the shanghaiing system . according to a former seaman :
edward norton plays an apparent western transplant to the san fernando valley ; trouble brews when he romances underage sylph evan rachel wood against the wishes of her father david morse . as it turns out , norton is clearly not in his right mind , being given to make - believe shootouts in his motel room and shanghaiing woods brother rory culkin for target practice . alas , the only interest in the film is watching it float between admiration and damnation for its deluded protagonist as he gets increasingly possessive and drifts towards violence .
shanghaiing or crimping is the practice of kidnapping people to serve as sailors by coercive techniques such as trickery , intimidation , or violence . . . . the verb
to shanghai
joined the lexicon with
crimping
and
sailor thieves
in the 1850s . a theory of the word ' s origin is that it comes from the chinese city of shanghai , a common destination of the ships with abducted crews . the term has since expanded to mean
kidnapped
or
induced to do something by means of fraud .

in 1933 , journalist stewart holbrook broadcast stories of shanghaiing and bawdy times on the portland waterfront in a series of romanticized articles in the sunday oregonian . his stories , several of dubious authenticity or attribution , contributed to the emergence many years later of stories of a network of underground tunnels used for the shanghai trade . in the 1970s , articles appeared in portland newspapers featuring michael p . jones , manager of the transit bank , a social service agency in the old town area , who was identified as the person who discovered the long - hidden tunnels .
at one time , this great city that we know today as portland , oregon , was a river town whose beginnings we often look upon as being nothing more than a humble victorian settlement . however , in reality it was considered the most
dangerous port in the world
because of the
shanghaiing trade
that existed . stopping for a drink in such notorious establishments as erickson ' s saloon , the snug harbor saloon , and the valhalla saloon , people became unsuspecting victims who found themselves beneath the streets in tunnels and being carried out to the waterfront and sold for
blood money
.
the remnants of portland ' s infamous history of the
shanghai tunnels
and the
portland underground
, are still with us . the stories have lingered , along with the rubble , the trapdoors , the secret entrances , and the catacombs that still extend their presence beneath the sidewalks , streets and buildings . so join the cascade geographic society and view the remnants of these infamous secret catacombs that earned portland such a dubious reputation . see the surviving artifacts of this shocking history of shanghaiing . explore the remnants of this intriguing and , up until now , hidden piece of portland and the west coast ' s maritime heritage .
“when sailors were scarce , the boarding - house master who supplied the ships with crews had recourse to the shanghaiing of any man who would sit and drink with him . friends of the boarding - house master signed the ship ' s articles for the proposed victim , giving the man ' s name , if they knew it ; but sometimes a man would wake up at sea and find himself with a new name . after the ship had sailed the boarding - house master would collect the advance made out in his favour for board and lodgings and clothing supplied . the game was very profitable . . . . ” ( farmer n . d . )

abandoned train tunnels and old freight transport tunnels san francisco’s hidden depths are vast , and several urban explorers have documented their findings… after they endured foul sewage , rats , and waist - deep freezing water . ( no thanks . ) along with other major cities , sf has its share of underground speakeasies / brothels with escape routes , as well as abandoned utility and train tunnels . you can find those antique railways on market street through an old muni station , but then there’s the feces , rat , and water issues we mentioned . north of civic center , there’s an early 1900s tunnel used to transport soldiers and materials , and it was in service until 1990 . like portland , fog city participated in “shanghaiing” and the old ship saloon has a trap door to a secret basement which , naturally , linked to another set of tunnels .

attention has lately been directed to the idiosyncrasies , so to speak , of those who make a living by “shipping” sailors on board of merchant vessels leaving san francisco . this business is in the hands , principally , of the proprietors of sailor boarding - houses , otherwise and generally known as “boarding - masters . ” there may be , in fact there are , a few honorable exceptions , but as a rule , a more dishonorable , dishonest crowd of blood - suckers than the “boarding - masters” of san francisco it would be hard to find . the hardest case in san quentin , indeed , would be an honorable gentleman in comparison to one of these fellows .
the moment an incoming ship touches the wharf , the “runners” of these leeches are on hand with their wagons to carry off the easily seduced sailors . once the sailor reaches the boarding - house , he occupies the same position toward the “boarding - master” that the fly does toward the spider in whose net it has been caught . he is at once filled up with vile whisky , and carefully kept in that state . his wages - and he generally pays off with $ 100 and upwards - are taken by the “boarding - master” “for safe - keeping , ” and he is judiciously supplied with a few dollars occasionally “to spend outside the house . ” at the end of a couple of weeks he is gently informed that his money is all gone , and it is time for him to go to sea again . as the sailor has kept no account , he is obliged to accept the “boarding - master’s , ” and is generally cheated out of from $ 50 to $ 80 , according to the length of time he takes to sober up and get ready for signing articles .
when he is in a fit condition to perform this operation he is taken before the united states shipping commissioner , signs his name on a ship’s articles , and obtains his advance not for $ 60 . to the sailor this advance note is so much waste paper . the “boarding - master , ” however , kindly discounts it and charges a liberal rate for his kindness . the convivial mariner is again filled up with bad whisky and then taken to an outfitter’s establishment to buy such things as he wants . for about ten or fifteen dollars worth of goods he is charged about thirty or thirty - five dollars , the difference being divided between the outfitter and the “boarding - master . ” from that period up to the time he is due on board his ship , which is generally within twenty - four hours after signing articles , the jolly tar is allowed to drink and to treat all he wants to . the amount thus drunk and treated depends upon the carrying capacity and liberality of the sailor ; but whether it be much or litt le it always exhausts the balance coming on the advance note . at the end of the twenty - four hours the sailor is on board his ship , and all he has to show for the $ 60 advance note received the day before is about fifteen or twenty dollars worth of “slops ! ”
we have not space to describe the “blood - money” and many other exploits of these “boarding - masters ; ” but we have space enough to ask the u . s . shipping commissioner to stand up and explain how he happened to let two kidnapped boys to be shipped on board american vessels recently . one of the principal functions , for the performance of which he is paid an extravagant salary , is the prevention of such crimes . his wife , the amiable emily pitt - stevens , of whom we have not heard for a long time , should comb his hair ; or , better still , uncle sam should “fire” him .

we use annual data for our computations , therefore , it is necessary to have an annual observation for both the initial year and the desired year . for the indices based on gdp , it is only after the year is over that gdp can be measured . for price indices , the annual observations are usually the average of monthly observations . it would not be valid to compare a monthly observation in the current year with an annual observation in an earlier year .
we have created many of the historical series in measuringworth , but the most recent observations are obtained from government agencies . the annual cpi and rpi observations are usually published in the first month or two of the next year , however the numbers for gdp do not come out until later . we strive to get the new numbers up as quickly as possible .
computing the purchasing power of a monetary transaction in the past compares the relative value of a past amount of dollars to a present amount . a simple

astoria originally had trolley service back in the 1880s , first horse - drawn , then electric . after the great fire in december 1922 , some trolleys were stranded on the east end of town and couldnt get back to the trolley barn , which was south of the astoria warehouse area .
the spokane portland & seattle trailway . which merged with burlington northern railroad owned the tracks were running on until 1996 when they were railbanked and turned over to the city . the railroad once crossed youngs bay on a long trestle and went to warrenton and seaside .
the west end mooring basin provides moorage for pleasure boats , sailboats and sportfishing boats . it is operated by the port of astoria , which has dockage farther west for large , ocean - going ships .
kindergarten cop ,  a 1990 movie , was filmed in several astoria locations . the restaurant at the red lion inn , seafare , was used in this movie and was the setting for schwarzenegger and his co - star to have a romantic dinner . several local people were used as extras in that , and other locally filmed movies .
the rubble - strewn dock east of the red lion is all that remains of the old union fishermens cooperative packing co . that opened in 1896 . it will be the site of a new , four - story , victorian - style hotel , called the cannery pier , in spring 2004 . and we expect a conference center to built along here in the next couple of years .
from 1843 to 1844 all the land from youngs bay east to tongue point was taken up in donation land claims .
samuel cole ticky smith took up the western end of astoria ( west of the trolley barn ) up to what is now first street . the area is still known as smith point .
an important feature in uniontown is the historic pathways and stairs , which are part of the public right - of - way . two of the more notable in the district are located along the southern extension of flavel street to w . duane and the stairs at the corner of w . duane and lincoln streets . these stairs and pathways are still utilized .
two historical objects in the district are the world war i doughboy soldiers monument ( july 21 , 1926 ) and the uniontown curfew bell ( 1904 ) located at the fire station .
uniontown was named after the union cannery . it was settled largely by finns and was also known as finntown . the single men came first and lived in boarding houses while working in the fishing and canning industries . soon , the single women followed and the new families moved up the hill .
from 1895 to 1905 , the homes built up on the hillside were done in the vernacular ( ver - nack - ular ) style . in other words , workingmens homes with no specific architectural plans . the building style was a tradition passed down from generation to generation .
the uniontown area covers roughly 30 blocks . there are 132 primary and secondary historically significant buildings in the district . building styles include typical late 19th - and 20th - century architecture , such as italianate , queen anne , stick style , commercial , bungalow and craftsman .
homes built during the primary building period are typically one to two story with a front - facing gable roof . an unusual feature of these simple , early buildings is the elevated basement level , which raises the house one full story off the ground .
after the turn of the century , the bungalow style replaced the earlier vernacular and queen ann styles . characteristics of the bungalow or craftsman style are low - pitch gable roofs , wide overhanging eaves and exposed brackets . craftsman - style homes could be ordered through the mail .
the immigrant stage of uniontown area was halted with the advent of wwi and the passage of new u . s . immigration laws in the early 1920s .
suomi hall , the big white square building , was originally a one - story structure built up the hill by the finnish temperance society and was originally known as temperance hall . later it was dragged down the hill to its present location and another level was added . temperance hall was later sold to the finnish brotherhood , which was organized in 1886 , and is still used for their meetings today .
the big yellow building near suomi hall was one of the old finnish boarding houses .
the old finnish meat market across the street is now the home of the astor street opry company . the company puts on a melodrama called shanghaied in astoria .  shanghaied is a great play based on the custom of kidnapping men from bars and putting them on ships going out to sea . playgoers get to throw popcorn at the villain and learn more about astorias infamous past . it runs mid - july to mid - september every summer .
the 4 . 21 mile long astoria bridge opened in 1966 . it is the longest continuous truss span bridge in the world . it had a $ 1 . 50 toll until 1994 , when the bridge was paid for and the toll was removed . the bridge has more than 200 feet of clearance on the oregon side so the huge ships can pass beneath it in the shipping channel . it is 150 feet more to the top of the span . it has been featured in several car and truck commercials and the 1985 movie short circuit featured the bridge .
one morning every october , traffic is stopped and you can run or walk across the bridge during the great columbia crossing . more than 2 , 000 walkers and runners participate
friday and saturday before the run the silver salmon celebration takes place at the west mooring basin . this event features fresh salmon direct from the fishing boats , a salmon barbecue , food and craft booths , live entertainment , and a salmon cookbook .
under the bridge is maritime memorial park , dedicated to the memories of local people who were involved in the maritime industry . it also honors those members of the u . s . coast guard who lost their lives while serving here on the columbia river .
the small boats seen on the river may be sportsfishing for sturgeon . to keep a sturgeon , it must be at least 42 inches long and not more than 60 inches . every thing else goes back in the river for another day .
just like seaside and cannon beach , astoria prides itself as a beach community . coming up on the waterside is astorias only sandy beach . dont blink , youll miss it !
the pile of rubble in the water is a cold storage plant that burned down in the early 90s . there is a legal dispute about ownership , and therefore , a dispute about who will clean it up .
to the south is the site of the first electric plant in the area , dating to 1885 . it was operated by the trullinger family . customers paid $ 16 per lamp a month .
in 1881 , samuel elmore built the original elmore cannery on this site and out over the water on pilings . the mid - 1880s were boom years for the cannery and elmore employed 350 fisherman and 100 cannery workers and canned 37 , 000 cases of one - pound chinook tins . the elmore cannery was known as one of the best equipped operations on the pacific coast .  it employed many chinese as cannery workers , doing nearly all the hard labor . the original cannery was replaced in 1886 and the second plant was replaced by a third in 1899 when elmore cannery consolidated with other canneries to form the columbia river packers association .
the cannery continued to be successful until the 1940s when the salmon run declined sharply , and the cannery would have shut down if not for the discovery of the albacore tuna industry . the crpa built a tuna cannery alongside the salmon cannery . the combined canneries were said to be the largest fish cannery in the world .
in 1976 the cannery , by then known as bumble bee seafoods , had ceased to can salmon and dealt strictly with tuna production until 1980 when it was closed down completely .
associated with the cannery was a bunkhouse , constructed 1915 , for the chinese labor . the building was later used as the office for the cannery . the bunkhouse burned down in 1984 to make way for new warehouses . nothing remains of the first cannery elmore built .
astoria warehousing was the site of american can company that supplied all the cans to bumble bee . now , it receives and stores canned fish from alaska and labels the cans when the fish are sold . it stores as many as 72 million cans of salmon .
most of the piling you see in the river once supported fish canneries , packing houses , warehouses and wharfs . some of the pilings supported flourmills . wheat used to be milled before it was shipped out , unlike today when the unprocessed wheat is shipped .
the large object in the river ( just opposite josephsons ) is all that remains of the white star cannery , which burned down about 50 years ago . what you see is the cannerys boiler . the plants are courtesy of seeds brought by the birds which nest there .
astoria was the port of entry for the great river of the west . in 1877 the astoria daily budget reported that 189 buildings were in all stages of construction in town .
col . john mcclure had the second donation land claim in what is now astoria located between first and 13th streets ( downtown astoria ) . he donated the city block for the county courthouse , putting the county seat in astoria . mcclure school once stood up the hill from the present - day courthouse .
in 1866 mcclure sold the claim to cyrus olney for about $ 10 , 000 and mcclure returned to indiana . when cyrus olney became owner of astoria , he slashed down 40 acres of forest , making a great change in the look of the place . in 1852 the entire peninsula on which astoria stands today was one solid forest of tall hemlock and spruce timber . many of those trees measured 12 to 17 feet in diameter , except about 14 acres of astor hill and 6 acres on the south side of smiths point , which had been burned off by the indians many years before . the tall forest reached down to the very edge of the little town of 20 families .
just off the trestle in front of the ship inn are ballast rocks , which are visible at low tide . ships would sail to astoria to pick up cargo . when they got to astoria they unloaded the ballast rocks , and loaded up with seafood , lumber and other cargo and sail off to other ports .
columbia house is astorias first condominium , built in the mid - 70s . the units sell for $ 200 - 225 , 000 . the building illustrates how piling is still used today to support buildings over the river .
up at the top of the hill , the house set by itself with green trim was used in the filming of kindergarten cop .  it was the home of arnold schwarzeneggers love interest , the schoolteacher .
the red brick building on the waterfront behind burger king was built as the astoria wharf and warehouse co . in 1892 . it earned the nickname the bonded warehouse because of its design , but was never used for u . s . customs . the primary purpose of this building was the storage of tin plate and accessories for manufacturing tin cans for early salmon canning . it was occupied by seven different can companies until 1949 . it has survived three major fires . it was made from locally fired brick and the foundation goes down into the river bed . this is unusual because all the other over - water structures are built on pilings . the granite keystone over the doorway and the granite door were relocated from the customs house in east astoria . it is the only surviving building to show this early tin can industry on the lower columbia river .
the fish packing industry developed quickly in astoria . kinney cannery was built in 1876 between fifth and sixth streets , and was the third cannery in astoria and the first to be built in the downtown area . built as a salmon cannery , in its first year of operation , it experimented in canning of beef and mutton . inexperience and lack of facilities curtailed this enterprise . by 1891 , kinney was the leading salmon packer in astoria , packing 67 , 000 cases . kinney owned two other canneries , 138 fishing boats , and 300 men were needed to operate his fleet . the cannery was rebuilt in 1894 on its original supports to replace the original building , which had burned to its pilings . large mounds of melted cans are still located beneath the building from the 1894 fire . canning was discontinued around 1920 and the building served as a central machine shop and warehouse for the crpa , later called bumble bee , until 1980 . the kinney cannery building was placed on the national register of historical places in 1989 .
the kinney box factory was built in 1908 as a box factory and office for the crpa . the building was enlarged to the east in the 1920s and the northern section has undergone a series of renovations ever since . the columbia river packers association used this building for its office and warehouse from 1915 through 1976 . it has been renovated for use as an office building with bakery and shops . there is a beautiful penthouse on the riverside that can be rented for meetings , reunions , etc
sixth street has a viewing platform that is a small city park and a small dock area where folks fish for sturgeon in season .
astor street was astorias red light district , site of numerous establishments euphemistically referred to as female boarding houses .  a young man visiting the bars and boarding houses of astor street might be shanghaied  kidnapped and forced to work on the crew of a sailing ship for months or years . astoria had a barbary coast atmosphere that prevailed at the turn of the century , when houses of questionable business dotted the waterfront and men were shanghaied from saloons . seafaring life was little better than prison for the hands of a sailing ship . there were labor brokers who resorted to kidnapping and trickery to man these vessels . many a farmboy woke up bound for shanghai with a hangover or a knot on his head .
one of the most beautiful of the astor street bars , the four - story louvre , opened in 1896 on the site now occupied by mcdonalds . artifacts from the louvre can be seen in the vice & virtue exhibit at the heritage museum .
this 1906 building was originally the elmore dock and served as a fish landing for samuel elmores cannery . from 1924 to 1938 , the owen - peeke feed & grain company occupied the building . in 1939 the new england fish company of oregon , used this building as a fish processing plant and for cold storage until the companys bankruptcy in 1980 .
presently the building is occupied by bornsteins seafoods . at bornsteins , the shrimp peeler and other processing equipment were invented and manufactured by carruthers equipment in hammond / warrenton . the fish - unloading machine is like a big vacuum cleaner that sucks the fish out of the boats hold . fish , shrimp , crab and oysters are all processed on astorias waterfront .
bornsteins even collects the shrimp casings in large bins to sell for use in cosmetics , soap and contact lenses .
capt . george flavel played an important role in astorias history . he was a very successful businessman and had a virtual monopoly on pilotage services , after a lively campaign to run off the competition . he also had extensive real estate holdings ; a wharf and warehousing business because he owned both steam tugs and the steam tug business . in 1885 he built a house for his retirement . he died in 1893 , the first astoria millionaire . this home , at eighth and exchange , is one of astorias biggest and most beautiful queen anne style victorian homes . it is now a museum run by the clatsop county historical society .
sebastian - stewart fish company occupied this building from 1945 to 1965 . then ocean foods used this building for their processing business .
currently , the astoria holdings co . operates the sardine plant at ninth street . they recently processed 22 million pounds of these trout - sized fish in a year . seventy percent of that was used as bait for long - line tuna fishing . the rest is shipped to japan as food grade under the label , delicious seven star fish .  astoria is prominent on all boxes used for shipping .
sardine fishers employ spotter airplanes to locate schools of sardines . the ships then encircle the fish with a purse seine net and can fill their holds with just one net full .
our post office dates back to 1847 . who can guess what postage cost then ? it was 40 cents a letter . the original post office location was between what is now known as exchange and franklin on 15th . there is an obelisk marking the location of this , the first u . s . post office west of the rockies .
in the 1850s , there were no improved streets or wagon trails . walking from sharks point ( at the foot of ninth ) to astor hill or shivleys astoria meant walking a narrow gravel path skirting the bay . going this way meant one had to pass through welchs sawmill where commercial intersects the shore . vessels anchored out in the river sent freight and passengers ashore in small boats . the landing was two large fir logs ( 50 or 60 feet long ) spiked together , making a floating wharf at the foot of ninth .
