The Astoria Docks

Astoria was once internationally revered as an important center for salmon fishing and salmon export. In the late 19th and early 20th century numerous canneries lined the waterfront of this small town. Today, where these monuments of commerce once stood all that remains are the skeletal remnants of the past.  Although the bustling docks and canneries  that came to define this small town as a giant in the fishing industry no longer stand, these modern ruins retain a rich history full of character and charm that define the Astoria of today.
