Two People on "Jump-Off Joe" Sea Stack · Digital Exhibits

Title: Two People on "Jump-Off Joe" Sea Stack
Description: Two people, possibly a man and a woman, standing on "Jump-Off Joe," a sea stack rock formation that formerly stood near Newport, Oregon. This photograph was likely taken around 1895, based on the state of the rock formation.

Jump-Off Joe was a famous arched rock formation that attracted many tourists visiting the beach near Newport, Oregon. It eroded rapidly between the 1890s-1910s, until the arch collapsed in 1916. There are little to no traces of the formation left today.

This photograph is part of the Nettie Shipley Haines photograph album.
