Whale Cove Oregon -
Whale Cove, South Of Depoe Bay, Oregon
Whale Cove is a small cove, approximately one-third of a mile (0.5 km) in
diameter, located on the Pacific Coast of Oregon in the United States,
approximately 2 mi (3 km) south of the town of Depoe Bay.
A portion of
the cove is protected as part of Rocky Creek State Park.
In 1978, British
amateur historian Bob Ward proposed that Whale Cove was the location where
Francis Drake spent the summer of 1579 during his circumnavigation of the globe
by sea. The exact location of Drake's landing spot, at which he claimed a
portion of the west coast of North America as "New Albion", has long been a
mystery. It is usually assumed to be in northern California on the coast of
Marin County.

Public Health Advisory Issued For Nye Beach (Corvallis Gazette-Times)
NEWPORT - A public health advisory was issued Thursday due to higher-than-normal levels of bacteria in ocean waters at Nye Beach in Newport.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ward proposed Whale Cove as the actual spot of Drake's
landing based on its similarity to a 16th century map made by Jodocus Hondius.
Ward theorized that Drake may have conspired with Queen Elizabeth I to mislead
the Spanish about the true location of the cove to keep the Spanish from
discovering Puget Sound, which Ward believes that Drake thought was the
Northwest Passage.
One longstanding puzzling feature of the Hondius map
is the small island on the peninsula protecting the cove. According to Ward, a
portion of the peninsula protecting Whale Cove is submerged at high tide
creating a similar island.
