The first full rigged ship to enter the port arrived January 1, 1855, being the ship Tjouisa, Cap- tain Ross commanding, which sailed later with a cargo of lumber for Melbourne, Australia. Until 1889 the entrance to Humboldt Bay was subject to such changes as wind, wave, and shifting sand might efit'ect, the depth of water and course of channel varying greatly at times. In this year jetty work was begun by the general Government, about ten years being consumed in its construction, the cost of s...ame amounting to more than $2,000,000. At the termination of its work the course of channel into the bay was practically controlled, and a greatly increased depth of water prevailed in the channel. As a result, vessels of a large size could enter and depart freely, direct shipments of cargo being made to any part of the world where markets could be found. While the jetty work immediately at the harbor entrance is almost intact, that part of it projecting seaward has been seriously impaired by the action of the sea, and the general Governrnent in i\Iarch, 1912, began work of restoring it to its former efficiency, at an estimated cost of $1,037,400.
