Newport man believes Sir Francis Drake summered in Oregon, not California, in 1579 - Travels with Terry: "Oregon may have missed a piece of history that it justly deserves.
Francis Drake may have spent the summer of 1579 overhauling the Golden Hinde at Whale Cove near Depoe Bay, instead of in Drake's Estero north of San Francisco. This is the fabled New Albion claimed for the British by the captain."
