Industry was a barque that grounded trying to enter the Columbia River in 1865. Numerous people died.[1][2]

The ship was built in 1862.[3] The vessel departed from San Francisco[4] February 23, 1865, hit storms, and later ran aground after waiting for a pilot to escort it into mouth of the Columbia River on March 15. Seventeen people died and seven survived. A survivor carved the number of dead and survivors on Shark Rock.[5][6] The lighthouse keeper at Cape Disappointment had no boat suitable to rescue survivors.[7][8][9]

Rescuers from Fort Cape Disappointment tried to reach survivors.
