California, Oregon Battle Over Landmark Status
The U.S. National Park Service is about to convey landmark status upon a place on the California coast, not far from San Franciscos famous Golden Gate Bridge.
That sounds kind of routine, but some people up the coast in Oregon are not at all happy about it.
Sir Francis Drake, the daring British explorer, is said to have sailed to that little piece of Californias Pacific coastline 433 years ago, in 1579, in the middle of his epic three-year expedition around the world.
He mapped a cove where he landed - and named it and the surrounding cliffs New Albion. Albion, which is Greek for white, was an early name for Britain, inspired by the famous white cliffs near Dover.
Today, the California cove and bay are called Drakes Bay in the explorers honor.
Drake is said to have hung around for five weeks, repairing his ships and interacting with Native American tribes. Thats the main reason the place is historic, for this was the first recorded contact between the British and American Indians.
So why should people up the coast in Oregon be upset
They say Drakes Albion visit didnt happen there at all, that he actually put ashore farther north on the rocky Pacific coast.
Amateur historian Gary Gitzen and other Oregonians say that first contact took place in and around Oregons Nehalem Bay.
If you lay Drakes own map of the cove he visited atop a map of Nehalem Bay, Gitzen says, its the same outline. Hes writing a book, called "Oregons Stolen History," all about it.
The National Park Service sent the conflicting claims to a couple of historic commissions, which ruled in Californias favor.
According to the Northwest News Network, the California locations landmark designation will be a done deal as soon as U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar signs the proclamation.
For now maybe, say the folks up north. Theyre not about to give up their claim that the real Drakes Bay should be in Oregon.
