On a typical fog wrapped drizzly August day on the North Coast, reveals the serrated line of Cliffs that make for a forbidding inhospitable shoreline. The name is a relic of the days when timber products such as millwork were shipped, for building the thousands of Victorians of San Francisco in the 1890's and early 20th century. These products were fabricated a couple of miles away in Duncan's Mills on the Russian River hauled by a team of oxen or draft horses to this spot. Here a line was thrown from the cliff to a coastwise freighter like Wampoma (exhibited in dry dock at Sausalito's Bay Model). They would hoist the millwork in a sling to a trolley on a wire and lower it to the ship far below, an innovative, but practical device, used all along the North Coast.
