NEWPORT BAY
This sail-dotted lagoon-like bay was once a hide-out for
Yankee smugglers. This was known as McFadden Landing
who built the pier here for his vessel known as the New-
port. James McFadden with his brother Robert embarked
in the shipping business and built the Santa Ana and
Newport Railroad that ran from Newport Wharf to Santa
Ana. The old railroad right-of-way went through the pre-
sent town of Costa Mesa. Today the Newport Bay is known
for the boats that make this their home port, boats that are
known around the world where ever sailers meet... M.P.
