Description: | Nameboard from the 'Oregon'. It is all that remains of this vessel, of which nothing is conclusively known or how the board arrived in the Valhalla Collection on Tresco, as no such wreck is recorded in the Isles of Scilly or nearby. An ?Oregon? is listed as being driven ashore under Picklecombe Fort, Plymouth, in 1867 and after being pulled off was reported as being ?stripped?. This could have been the source of the piece, since Augustus Smith of Tresco, who formed the collection, occasionally acquired items from the mainland.
