Jan Zweerts posted two photos with the comment: "Columbia Lightship departing North Portland Harbor threads the BNSF Oregon Slough swing span MP 8.8 Fallbridge Div. bound for Astoria."

Earl Poulsen: It was a floating navigation marker. Portland TV stations would get weather and the swells reports by shortwave like they did on ships out in the ocean. Today, the ship is retired and a buoy reports weather conditions.
