Additional Information
Captured in October 1941 by acclaimed photographer Russell Lee for the Farm Security Administration, this compelling image documents a massive log raft floating on the Willamette River at Portland, Oregon. The photograph bears witness to the Pacific Northwest's dominant timber industry during a pivotal moment in American economic history.
On the eve of the nation's entry into World War II, Portland served as one of the foremost lumber processing centers on the West Coast. The Willamette River functioned as a vital commercial thoroughfare, carrying enormous rafts of harvested timber from Oregon's vast interior forests to the city's bustling sawmills and shipping terminals along its industrialized waterfront.
Russell Lee, one of the most prolific documentarians within the FSA photographic program, traveled extensively across the American West recording the working lives of ordinary citizens. His Portland series captured the interconnected industries of logging, milling, and maritime shipping that sustained the regional economy throughout the Depression era and into wartime mobilization.
This evocative photograph provides an invaluable window into Portland's industrial heritage and the timber trade that shaped Oregon's economic identity. A distinguished addition to any collection, it creates an indelible link between past and present, preserving a unique piece of American labor and environmental history.
