The Bridge Around Cape Disappointment Oceanside Oregon RPPC Postcard Pmk 1924

Description: Real photo postcard of Oceanside Oregon, standard size 3.5 x 5.5". A postcard referring to Maxwell Point or nearby areas as "Cape Disappointment" might stem from a mix-up or artistic license by early postcard makers, who occasionally misnamed places to attract interest or due to simple geographical confusion. In the early 20th century, as tourism grew along the Oregon and Washington coasts, names of scenic spots were sometimes mislabeled or used interchangeably, especially if they sounded dramatic or intriguing, like "Cape Disappointment." Another possibility is that the name "Cape Disappointment" was informally applied to Maxwell Point or the surrounding area by locals or visitors, possibly as a tongue-in-cheek reference or personal interpretation. This kind of informal naming sometimes found its way into postcards or local vernacular, even if it wasn’t official. Card condition: corner wear, small crease in upper right corner, edge wear, marks on back, light discoloration, note/address/stamp/postmarked in Oceanside in 1924.
