Twice as Many Wharves: A Lecture by Local Historian Jerry Rohde
Many people know that the Arcata and Mad River Railroad ran a train on the wharf that was located in what is now the Arcata Marsh. But how many of you know that there was a second train and a second wharf? If this is news to you, tune in to Jerry’s talk sponsored by Friends of the Arcata Marsh, which will be recorded and posted online for future viewing. There will be a Q&A session after the presentation. Jerry will acquaint you with the “Shingle” Wharf that ignited in 1900 with four million shingles (and a train) on top of it. His presentation also will explain why there was never a “McDaniels” Slough and how the bay dredge “Jupiter” was resuscitated from the Arcata Bay mud and went on to build the dikes along the shore. Jerry Rohde has researched Humboldt County history for 30 years. He lectures frequently and will soon have a history of eastern Arcata Bay published by the Humboldt State University Press.
