The original "port" was built on wharves, with all the "support" activity, (chandlers, bars, bordellos, etc) built right on top of the wharves. There were trapdoors, it is said, through which unsuspecting and perhaps drugged young men were thrust, only to awaken the next morning, 'way out to sea. The townspeople put a curfew on the local youth to prevent their kidnapping. After a few fires, the wharf area was filled in, so I don't know what happened to the kidnapping after that.

Tell about all the men who disappeared and family's |who may to this day be searching for loved ones. There are so |many surnames involved in this. And then there are the crimps |who sold these men and the sea captains who bought them. |Telling the history of a city is wonderful but we need to tell |the whole story. If you would like I can be reached at |cinnamon@molalla.net I would love to discuss this with you and |anyone else that would like this info. | |Sincerely, |Candi | | | |> X-Message: #5 |> Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 15:41:25 -0400 |> From: "dennis" |> Subject: History of Portland Oregon |> |> Continuing our emphasis on Oregon Genealogy, this week we added the |> manuscript the History of Portland, Oregon to the Access Genealogy |> website.
