"Jump-Off Joe" Sea Stack

Title

"Jump-Off Joe" Sea Stack

Description

"Jump-Off Joe," a sea stack rock formation that formerly stood near Newport, Oregon. This photograph was likely taken in the late 1890s, based on the state of the rock formation. Jump-Off Joe was a famous arched rock formation that attracted many tourists visiting the beach near Newport, Oregon. It eroded rapidly between the 1890s-1910s, until the arch collapsed in 1916. There are little to no traces of the formation left today.

This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album.
