Telling The Columbia River Maritime Story Through A Diverse Fleet Of Boats
The addition of the classic, locally-built, wooden yacht Merrimac and Portland-built, trans-Pacific rowboat Emerson to the collection fills important gaps in the history of both design and operations of two completely different types of boats. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to preserve them and eventually build displays around them.

Despite the enormity of our existing collections, there is a seemingly endless amount of significant new information to learn and important boats and artifacts to preserve as we seek to fulfill our mission to “collect, preserve, display and interpret the maritime history, culture and art of the Columbia River, its tributaries, and the waters of the North Pacific for the education and enjoyment of the public.”
The most significant constraint on our collections is space to display and store additional vessels. The Strategic Plan 2020-2025 calls for exploring options to address these gaps, and we have begun the process of carefully examining our options. In the meantime, be sure and come see the newly restored lightship Columbia and our new exhibit Shipwrecks!
Offers of boats come in regularly, and CRMM Curator Jeff Smith exercises great discipline in determining whether a boat is important enough to collect, and sound enough to accept.
A very exciting addition coming to the collection is a traditional Nuu-Chah-Nulth canoe made by the renowned carver Joe Martin, a member of the Tla-o-qui-aht, a part of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth First Nations from the village of Opitshat near Tofino on Vancouver Island. The canoe will be featured in the upcoming exhibit Cedar and Sea: The Maritime Culture of the Indigenous Coastal People of the Pacific Northwest, scheduled to open in late 2023 or early 2024.
Bruce Jones, Deputy Director
Columbia River Maritime Museum
Noticeable gaps in our collection of regionally important vessels include tugboats and towboats, fireboats, 52 foot Motor Lifeboats, any type of maritime aircraft, and a wide variety of recreational craft including cruisers and yachts. Offers of boats come in regularly, and Curator Jeff Smith exercises great discipline in determining whether a boat is important enough to collect, and sound enough to accept. Often, deteriorated condition and/or size force us to decline potential acquisitions.
From the Wheelhouse
I’ve been fascinated by Ernest Shackleton and his famous Antarctic expedition since I read Endurance: Shackleton’s incredible voyage, by Alfred Lansing. We have this in the library and I was excited when we received Caroline Alexander’s book, The Endurance: Shackleton’s legendary Antarctic expedition, which contains many of the stunning photographs taken by expedition photographer Frank Hurley. Hurley managed to save the glass plate negatives by storing them in hermetically sealed cannisters during the crew’s twenty-month fight for survival. Alexander’s photos make a nice accompaniment to Lansing’s detailed history of the expedition.

We get an impressive variety of items from our donors, including published books, photos and photo albums, maps and charts, and other archival material. Our recent acquisitions may not be newly published or created, but they are new to us and hopefully to you. Some have helped fill in my local history and maritime knowledge, some piqued my interest and led me to further research, and others simply made me smile. Here are a few that really stood out for me.
4 Endurance trapped in the ice
One of the books that made me smile is Sian Evans’ Maiden Voyages: Magnificent Ocean Liners and the Women Who Traveled and Worked Aboard Them, which chronicles women’s lives on board cruise ships from the early part of the 20th century through World War II. The stories cover celebrities of the day such as gossip columnist Elsa Maxwell, but my favorites are about the women who worked aboard ship. For example, conductress Edith Sowerbutts (wonderful name) chaperoned unaccompanied women and children emigrating to Canada and the U.S. and Olympic swimmer Hilda James became a swimming coach for the Cunard line. The book is well-researched AND an entertaining read.

This spring the library was gifted the beautiful seven-volume Historic American Merchant Marine Survey (HAMMS). The survey was created as part of the Works Progress Administration to provide jobs for unemployed maritime industry workers. According to the Smithsonian, the “specific goal of HAMMS was to undertake a national survey of watercraft, in order to document the design and technical evolution of vessel types significant in America’s commercial maritime history. This was to be accomplished by making measured drawings of existing vessels, ship models, and builders’ half models; by making a photographic record of significant vessels; and by compiling written data about vessels.” as the year built, who built it, description and measurements, and detailed 17.5 x 36” drawing sheets.

CRMM Curator presents Artifact to new USS Oregon
USS Oregon Commissioning : The submarine’s crew brings the boat to life.
There were many other memorable moments from the two days of events. Two, in particular, were from the dinner the evening before the commissioning. As a slide show scrolled scenes of Oregon on a loop, I looked up and saw a photograph of the Columbia River Maritime Museum, followed by images of battleship Oregon artifacts from our collection. I thought to myself, “I recognize those” and felt a little more at home in my new surroundings. The Commissioning Committee representatives had taken photos when they visited earlier in the year and surprised me with them. When they visited, they asked what battleship Oregon artifacts in our collection we might be able to donate for placement on the new USS Oregon. We settled on a porthole, one of three from the battleship in our collection. Jim Lasher, Co-chair of the Commissioning Committee thought it would be a unique gift to present to the submarine, mindful of the joke about how useful a porthole is on a sub, but also appropriate as a reminder to the officers and crew of the legacy they carry forward from Oregon. Jim called me up onto the stage to present the sub’s captain with the porthole. It became the talk of the evening, with many coming up to me afterward expressing appreciation. In fact, at the Commissioning Ceremony the next day, the captain paused from his prepared remarks to say what a thoughtful gift it was, and that the COB (Chief of the Boat) was still trying to figure out where he was going to put it. For the rest of the weekend, I was “the guy that brought the porthole!” It was truly an honor to represent the museum and my State and I am grateful for the opportunity of a lifetime.

It was my privilege to attend the May commissioning ceremony for the latest nuclear attack submarine, SSN-793, USS Oregon in Groton, CT. It was quite the show, with many Admirals, Captains, Senators, Congressmen, the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and presidents of both Newport News Shipbuilding and General Dynamics/Electric Boat. Oregon’s governor, the Honorable Kate Brown, received a 17-gun salute from howitzers onshore near the dais. The Governor mentioned how appreciative the assembled crowd of Oregonians called to witness this historic event were that Connecticut had provided such “Oregon-like weather to make us all feel at home” (foggy and misty). The Navy Band provided all the flourishes to punctuate the proceedings and helped fill the air with patriotic fervor. One especially moving moment was when the Ship’s Sponsor, Mrs. Dana Richardson, called the crew to board the boat “and bring it to life” while the band played “Anchors Aweigh.” All 144 officers and crew hastened aboard and stood in line abreast, officially putting the boat into active service.

The Museum was thrilled to welcome 98 year old Coast Guardsman Gerald “Pat” Patterson in March 2022. Mr. Patterson served from 1943 until the end of WWII as a U.S. Coast Guardsman patrolling the beaches near Garibaldi on horseback. He finished the remainder of his enlistment after war’s end at the Cape Lookout lighthouse, before managing the Edmonds Fish Corporation in Garibaldi for the next 28 years.

The 28’ Ocean Rowboat Emerson, designed by naval architect Eric Sponberg and built in Portland, OR by Schooner Creek Boat Works, departed Neah Bay on July 7, 2019 with Jacob Hendrickson on the oars. 7,145 statute miles later and 11 months later, Hendrickson pulled into Cairns, Australia. Hendrickson loaned Emerson to the museum until a film project is complete, at which point the loan will convert to a gift and an eventual display.

Historic Astoria Ferry Sinks
Tourist No. 2 ferry
The wooden ferry Tourist No. 2, built in 1924 by Wilson Shipyards in Astoria, sank on July 28 where it was illegally moored by its private owner over Department of State Lands river bottom near 6th Street in Astoria. The ferry carried cars and passengers between Astoria and Megler, WA from 1921 to 1966, when the Astoria-Megler bridge opened, except for a period during WWII when the ferry was purchased by the U.S. Army for use as a minelayer and transport craft. Tourist No. 2 was destined for the scrapyard in 2010, when it was purchased by its present owner, who along with a local nonprofit had visions of a restoration for use as an excursion vessel in Astoria. As of this writing the vessel is believed to be unsalvageable.
The classic yacht Merrimac, built in 1938 by designer and Astoria Marine Construction Company (AMCCO) owner Joseph M. Dyer, was donated to the museum by owners John and Karen Fettig. The beautiful and meticulously maintained wooden boat was delivered in August and is currently in the museum’s boat storage warehouse across the street from the museum. The museum’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan includes goals of expanding boat storage and boat display capacity so that Merrimac and other fine and historic vessels can be viewed by the public.

Merrimac Returns to Astoria

Merrimac was launched on August 27, 1938 and maintained by her owners in pristine condition having never undergone a complete renovation.
The cruiser originated as a kit-boat from Michigan based Bay City Boat Inc. The kit was ordered by J.W. McCrea (PYC Commodore 1931-2) and shipped by rail to Portland. The first boat builder hired to construct the boat turned down the job upon opening the door of the boxcar and realizing the enormity of the project. McCrea turned to Joe Dyer of Astoria Marine Construction, who agreed to build the boat and use as much of the kit as possible, but would build the boat “his way” and redesigned the boat and obtained lumber from the Wauna mill. The original Bay City Boat catalogs, kit plans and revised AMCCO drawings are still kept aboard the boat.

Christened the MaryMack in Astoria the boat was soon moored at PYC. At the beginning of World War II the boat was requisitioned for patrol duties and her highly varnished topsides were painted grey, and numbers replaced the name and according to lore, a 50-caliber machine gun mounted on the foredeck. The boat patrolled off the Oregon Coast out of Nehalem Bay.
After the war Charles Wegman of Portland purchased the boat, renaming it Dee Dee Jo after his daughters. His daughter Dede Williams and her husband Herb were PYC Commodore and First Lady in 1978. She recalled the boat was still gunmetal gray when her dad took over ownership, and her father restored the boat to original condition. Her sister Jo married into the Wilcox family who were then owners of Phantom, another classic yacht previously moored at PYC. They boats frequently cruised together for manyAroundyears.1950
PYC member Jim Stacy purchased the boat in 1972 and for the next 23 years the boat was maintained and cruised extensively, including trips circumnavigating Vancouver Island and as far north as Alaska. He was known to leave PYC in June and return in September. Stacy replaced the engine with a 450 Cummins V-8 during these years and that engine is still powering the boat today.

the Wegmans sold the boat to Horace Williams who owned the legendary Tic Tok restaurant. He named the boat Princess and owned it for three years, selling the boat to Joe Dyer. Dyer used the boat as his personal yacht renaming it Merrimac. He added the flybridge and made numerous improvements. Merrimac cruised throughout the northwest during the 19 years Dyer owned the boat.
Moored in the Portland Yacht Club moorage in a boathouse specifically built to accommodate the boat is an exquisite 45-footer named Merrimac. The 82 yearold classic yacht was launched on August 27, 1938 and has been cruising in the northwest since, having never undergone a complete renovation, but maintained by her owners in pristine condition.

Stacy in turn sold the boat to another PYC member George Beall in 1993 and was the first owner to use the cruiser as a classic yacht and to revive it to its original glory. Fortunately, the boat has always been maintained to a high standard and continues to be refurbished to an even higher grade of maintenance inside and out. With attention to original design and upholstery, hunter green carpet, varnished mahogany, and polished chrome. Much of the interior remains original, including hand water pumps in both heads and fixtures throughout. The original solid mahogany galley table – for years hidden under a layer of Formica – was recently restored to its original luster and embellished with gold leaf design.
In 2010 Beall sold the boat to John and Karen Fettig. Today the boat is a beautiful example of excellent boat building and a testament to Dyer and AMCCO’s legacy. According to John “the boat is original and had no wrecks or structural mishaps. It a rare gem and takes work and money to keep in top condition”. The boat is kept in ‘ready to show’ condition and has won numerous awards in shows around the northwest including Cathlamet, Victoria BC and LaConner WA.

I had a recent conversation with George and John about the boat’s history and asked if there were any special memories of adventures on the boat and George related the following; “We were on a trip up north in the San Juan islands and underway on the backside of Friday Harbor when suddenly we were surrounded by a pod of Killer whales. They wouldn’t leave the boat and just swam along side for a long time. They were so close! We reached out of the boat and actually touched one of them. That is something I will never forget.”
