#886 Long #: 39.1-886-LB Negative size: 5.25" x 2.75" Negative type: Photo Photographer: Malcolm W. Steel Date: 1914 Place: Oregon Binder: Ships S.S. Frank Buck, off of the Oregon coast. Photo taken at sea by Malcolm Steel, who wrote this annotation in a 1969 letter to Museum Director Vern Yadon: "Along about 1908, the Associated Oil Co. (I believe owned by the Southern Pacific Co.) constructed a pipeline from Coalinga in the San Joaquin Valley, to New Monterey. The line terminated at a tank farm on the shoreline east of where Cannery Row stands. During the 1920s, lightening struck the tanks and as a result they were destroyed by fire. As a matter of future safety, the tanks were reconstructed on the sand dunes at the Retreat, where they stood until a year or two ago. However, the Coalinga/Monterey pipe line was discontinued long before. Among the tankers calling at New Monterey was the Frank Buck."
