Video Description
During the early 1940s, Vanport, Oregon was the second largest city in the state. But on a Sunday afternoon in May 1948, it disappeared completely—destroyed by a catastrophic flood. This is the story of Vanport: what it was like to live there, how it suddenly ended, and how it changed the face of Portland, OR.
