Columbia River Maritime Museum

May 2, 2024

In Astoria, OR, we took a couple of hours to explore the Columbia River Maritime Museum. We had seen a photo of an exhibit featuring a CoastGuard cutter and decided we wanted to see it. The museum was one of the better ones. It was a bit more crowded than usual when we visited since there were two cruise ships anchored in port. 

We learned that the bar between the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean is considered one of the most dangerous in the world by mariners. Kudos once more to the Coast Guard.
