Description
Unidentified people in a large rowboat and standing on fence rails during flooding in June 1894. Rain and snowmelt inundated the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, overwhelming Portland with water levels up to 33 feet. These Portlanders navigated downtown in boats, stopping at SW 3rd and Morrison to document the event.
