Episode Synopsis
The USS Plainview, a relic of lower Columbia history, beached in the shallows of Hungry HarborToday we take a look at the USS Plainview, a once-innovative, prototype hydrofoil ship design that was decommissioned by the Navy in the 1960s. She ended up sidelined by her civilian owner after plans to make her into a seafood processing vessel didn't pan out. She remains, partially dismantled, on the shores of the Columbia on the Washington side of the river, a few miles east of the Megler Bridge, beached on private property.Today we'll take a look at her once exciting history, and why she remains where she is.
