Victims were drugged with opiates, kidnapped while intoxicated, or knocked unconscious. Oral tradition has kept the history of the Portland Underground alive. Today, 150 years after Shanghaiing began you can still view the secrets of the past by visiting the tunnels. • Support the Channel by becoming a member 👉 / @itshistory • Chapters: • 00:00 Intro to The Portland Underground • 01:27 A word from Skillshare, the online learning community • 03:19 Portland’s original population • 04:33 How The gold rush stimulated population growth in Portland • 05:38 The discovery of gold in Jackson Creek • 06:08 Chinese and Japanese immigrants of the west • 07:46 Portland’s secret Shanghai Tunnels • 10:55 Portland’s Mobsters, Gangsters and Prohibition • 13:17 The haunted Shanghai tunnels • 14:28 The end of human trafficking in Portlands tunnels • 14:44 Tunnel Renovation and walking tours • • IT’S HISTORY - Weekly tales of American Urban Decay as presented by your host Ryan Socash. • • IT'S HISTORY 🔥 Trending • » Subscribe: / @itshistory • » Listen podcasts: https://ffm.bio/itshistory • » CONTACT • For brands, agencies, and sponsorships: [email protected] • » CREDIT • Sponsor - Skillshare • Scriptwriter - Camrin Dekis, • Editor - Sebastian Ripoll, • Host - Ryan Socash • » SOURCES • / itshistory • » NOTICE • Some images may be used for illustrative purposes only - always reflecting the accurate time frame and content.
