South Bend had pink bows all along main street and pink on these statues. We are thinking it has to do with Columbus day, which is today. The Rose Ranch.

Here is a photo of the Peter Iredale when it first wrecked in 1906. She was built in 1890 in England. There are a lot of ship wrecks in this area where the Columbia River meets the Pacific ocean.
