Cape Horn Tapestries
Description: The Wandering Albatross does not require land. It requires ocean — the Southern Ocean specifically, the roaring forties and howling fifties, the uninterrupted fetch of the world's longest wind. It spends years at sea between breeding seasons, sleeping on the water, flying without a wingbeat for hours at a time, covering distances in a week that most birds do not cover in a lifetime. "The Pelagic Nomad" is for the offshore sailors, the deep-sea fishermen, and the serious birders who have watched one from the deck of a vessel far enough from shore that the shore is a concept rather than a location — and understood, in that moment, exactly who owns the open ocean.
Description: In the Siletz language, Yachats means “dark water at the foot of the mountain,” and the Oregon Coast Range, surging ocean waters, and tide pools sunk in the black basalt of the shoreline make the name altogether appropriate. Located in a very unique spot, Yachats (pronounced YAH-hots) is widely regarded as the 'Gem of the Oregon Coast'. Instead of sandy beaches, much of the coastline near Yachats is composed of rugged black basalt that produces surging sea landmarks like Devil’s Churn, Spouting Horn, and Thor’s Well. Phenomenal views can be seen from Cape Perpetua, the highest viewpoint on the Oregon Coast, located just a few miles south of town. At the 2010 census, the population was 690, and was named one of the "Ten Coolest Small Towns."
Description: A Viking is shown holding up a large horned mug of beer, ready for a toast. The Viking has an impressive, muscular figure and wears the typical equipment of a Viking, including a horn-trimmed helmet, a chain of metal rings and a cape of fur. He sits on a wooden throne decorated with carvings and appears to be in a large hall with fireplaces and banners. The Viking has a wild and fearless expression on his face and is obviously enjoying his beer.
