"The U.S. Congress, recognizing the importance of the Columbia and
Willamette rivers to the economy of the Northwest, established the
Portland District in 1871. One of the original goals of the District was
to remove obstacles to navigation in the two rivers. Today, the
region’s commercial development is still dependent on safe passage of
sea-going ships across the bars and up the waterways. The Portland Corps
of Engineers keeps Oregon's waterways safe and navigable through
dredging sandbars and channel deepening, ensuring safe transport for
more than $18 billion in waterborne commerce."
Quote of the Day ~ "Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence." ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
