Description

Frankport was once the site of a dock which uploaded tanoak bark from the area for transport to the S.H. Frank Tannery in Redwood City, California. The operation continued for about 12 years until 1905, and some rusting components lie scattered among the driftwood. Before the place was named Frankport, the sheltered cove had been a landing spot for eager prospectors in the 1850s and 1860s seeking their fortunes in gold from southern Oregon’s rivers. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the area was the site of a rock quarry.
