MUSEUM

From the Wheelhouse History will be preserved where it was made.

"50 years of Excellence;' those were the words we used in 2012 to celebrate our 50th Anniversary as one of the finest maritime museums in the United States.

Now, as we move into our second half-century, the Museum continues our pursuit of excellence with the restoration of the historic Astoria Railroad Depot.

The Depot was given to the Museum in 1987 by the Burlington Northern Railroad and had no major alterations since its construction in 1925. Ilowcvcr, in addition to age-related wear and tear, the Nisqually earthquake of 2001 caused structural damage that had to be repaired before the building could be reopened to the public. The choice was clear: fix it up or let it die. In 2010 we chose to fix it up.

With the help of many generous contributers, the Depot has now been restored and stands as a proud reminder of the days when eight trains a day connected Astoria to Portland. Its beautiful Palladian windows, wainscoted and paneled walls, and coffered ceilings once again reflect the elegance of days past.

The successful completion of this

project preserves one of Astoria's most historic buildings; however, this project is less about bricks and mortar than it is about capacity building. The restored Depot will provide many cultural and economic benefits to both the Museum and to the community. Preserving culture requires more than collecting and storing artifacts. How the artifacts were made and used is also important, and the best way to do this is through hands-on activities that pass these skills on from generation to generation. This is what the programs planned for the Depot space will do.

Now renamed "The Barbey Maritime Center for Research and Industry" in honor of the Barbey family, who were pioneers in the Columbia River salmon packing industry, the Depot will support a wide variety of uses. Boat documentation programs, and workshops and classes on the traditional maritime skills and trades of the region will be taught.

As we move into the Museum's nexl 50 years, Rolf Klep would be pleased to see how the maritime museum he founded on the banks of the Columbia River continues to grow and expand its scope and reach.

Designed by Thomas D. McMahon, the Great Northern Railway architect famous for the Many Glacier Hotel in Glacier National Park, the Astoria Railroad Depot is one of only two examples of McMahon's "Prairie School" style of architecture remaining in the Pacific Northwest. Constructed in 1925 by the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railroad, the Depot lies at the eastern edge of the Museum's campus, 600 feet from the Museum's main building and anchors the easternmost boundary of Astoria's Downtown Historic District.

The Depot is divided into two sections separated by a covered breezeway: the east wing, where freight was stored, and the west wing, further divided into two beautiful coffered and paneled waiting rooms. The western-most, called the "Women's Waiting Room" served as the ticket office and a waiting room for women and children. The other, called the "Men's Waiting Room'' served as railroad staff offices, luggage storage, and

as the men's waiting area.

The Depot serviced up to eight passenger and freight trains a day from Portland until 1952. With the advent of better roads, passenger service was discontinued and thereafter the Depot was used only for freight handling. In 1987 Burlington Northern Railroad gave this historic landmark to the Museum.

In 1989 the Depot was used by the Museum as a boat shop to build the replica of a historic sailing gillnet boat now on display in the Museum's Great Hall. Between 2002 and 2005 the Depot served excursion trains as part of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. Otherwise, it has been used as a storage area for the Museum. In 2005 the Museum acquired additional storage space, freeing up the Depot for other uses. Restoration, including seismic upgrading, began in 2011 and was completed in 2012.

The Barbey Maritime Center for Research and Industry The Barbey Maritime Center for Research and Industry is named in honor of the Barbey family, pioneers and leaders in the salmon packing industry of the Columbia River.

The history of the Barbey family's involvement in the salmon industry of the Lower Columbia River began in the fall of 1912 when Henry Barbey, owner of the Barbey Fish Company of Portland leased the Pillar Rock cannery from its owners Everding & Farrell. Immediately successful, Henry Barbey branched out with fish buying stations at Ilwaco, Chinook, and Hammond, selling fresh and canned salmon throughout the country and exporting to Europe. In 1918 the Barbey Fish Company leased the Hill Terminals located in Flavel, now Hammond, Oregon, from the Spokane, Portland, and Seattle Railroad, builders of the Astoria Railroad Depot that now bears the Barbey name. The Flavel Cannery began operating in 1919 under the The Qual'lerDeck Spring 2013

name "The Barbey Packing Compan/' The Barbey Packing Company was an independent salmon packer. It owned no fishing boats and had none under contract, purchasing its salmon directly from independent fishermen.

This brought it into direct conflict wilh the commercial packing companies like the Columbia River Packers Association and the Union Fishermens Cooperative Packing Company over gillnetting, purse seining, fish traps, and horse seining grounds at the mouth of the Columbia River.

The Barbey Packing Company continued to grow during the 1920s, expanding its operation to include cold storage and packing facilities in Astoria, a canning and fish receiving station in Rainier, Oregon, and a fish wheel on Rabbit Island, just down river from Celilo Falls near The Dalles, Oregon. In 1925, Henry outbid the Columbia River Packers Association for valuable rights

to horse seining grounds on Sand Island and in 1929, the Barbey Packing Company moved its operations to Astoria, closing the Flavel facility. By 1930 it was one of the three top salmon packers on the Columbia River.

In 1948 Graham Barbey, Henry's son, was elected president of the company with his wife, Anne Murray Barbey as vice-president Graham moved the Barbey Packing Company into canning tuna then later refrigerator trucking frozen tuna down to Terminal Island operating the company year round instead of just during the salmon season. He served on the County Planning Commission, dealt with the state legislature on issues affect ing both his company and Astoria, and encouraged many of his young employees to further their education. While Graham concentrated on the business, his wife, Anne, represented the company in the community, serving on many boards, including the Red Cross, the United Fund, and the League of Women Voters.

Together Graham, with Anne's counsel, ran a successful company in Astoria for nearly 30 years.

The Barbey Packing Company continued to be successfully operated until it was sold by the Barbey Family in 1974 to a group of local investors who renamed the company The Barbey Packing Corporation. This was sold in 1978 and all Barbey operations on the Columbia River ceased in 1981.

In 1962 Graham Barbey was one of a small group of people, who, with his close friend Rolf Klep, helped found the Columbia River Maritime Museum. From 1962 until his death in 2002 he was an active supporter of the Museum, serving several times as a board member and, along with other members of his family, helping secure financial support for the Museum.

The Columbia River Maritime Museum is proud to recognize the Barbey Family for their contributions to the maritime culture of Astoria and the Columbia River region and for their support of the Columbia River Maritime Museum and its efforts to preserve the culture of the Columbia River and the waters of the North Pacific.

Maritime Education: Classes, Workshops, and Demonstrations Preserving culture requires more than collecting and storing artifacts.

How the artifacts were made and used is also important. The best way to do this is through hands-on activities that pass these skills on from generation to generation. This is what the programs planned for the Barbey Maritime Center will do.

The East Wing of the Barbey Maritime Center will be devoted to woodworking. Traditional boats will be built, repaired, and restored here during the summer months. The Historic Preservation and Restoration Program of Clatsop Community College will use this space for its workshops during the school year.

The East Wing will also house the "Regional Roat Documentation Center" that the Museum is operating in cooperation with the U.S. National Park Service's Historic American Building Survey Program, the Library of Congress, and Clatsop Community College's Historic Preservation Program.

The Columbia River Ship Chandlery The "Men's Waiting Room'' in the West Wing of the Depot will house the "Columbia River Ship Chandlery". When not being used for classes and workshops, the space will be used to demonstrate the manufacture of traditional tools and goods used by boat builders, the fishing and shipping industry, and yacht owners.

Volunteers and staff will make a variety of items including small boats, nets and net needles, belaying pins, wooden stropped blocks, mast hoops, canvas ditty bags, fids, rat -tailed fairleads and all sorts of marlinspike and rope work. Although made as part of demonstrations, these items will be sold by the Museum store and on-line.

The QuarterDeck Spring 2013

Copper Boat Nails One of the most interesting and innovative uses of the Barbey Maritime Center will be to house antique machinery that will be used to make copper boat nails used in the construction of traditional Scandinavian-style lapstrake boats. As the only manufacturer of these fasteners outside of England, this "legacy" business will help preserve a 2,000 year old tradition ofboatbuilding and provide a source of income in support of the Barbey Maritime Center and its programs.

Guild of Traditional Maritime Trades In time other small legacy businesses may be added to the copper nail business, creating a "Guild of Traditional Maritime Trades" operating out of the Barbey Maritime Center. These include the manufacture of steam bent wooden mast hoops and wooden rope-stropped blocks used on traditionally rigged boats from small dinghies to large vessels like the U.S.S. Constitution. The businesses making these and many other traditional chandlery items are mostly operated by elderly craftsmen.

MUSEUM

With extremely limited markets and small streams of revenue, these businesses are unlikely to be taken over by younger craftsmen as for-profit businesses. Incorporating them into a guild oflegacy businesses under the umbrella of the Museum will keep them alive, preserve important aspects of maritime culture and traditional maritime trade, and provide a small but steady income to the Museum. Like the manufacture of copper boat nails, these businesses would be operated in a demonstration setting.

Gillnet Boats & Cultural Identity An important function of the Depot will be to bring back the double-ended sailing gillnet boats to the river.

In 1900, the U.S. Fish Commission, in a survey of the lower Columbia River gillnet fishery, counted more than 2,500 double-ended sailing gillnet boats on the river. Every community along both sides of the Columbia from Puget Island to the mouth of the river had boats in what is often called "The Butterfly Fleet". These boats participated in local regattas and are iconic symbols of the region's maritime culture. In 1989, when the Museum sought an example to add to its collection, none were to be found. In less than 90 years every single boal had rotted away or was lost.

Under the tutelage of a boat builder and using the facilities of the Depot, teams of individuals from communities on both sides of the river will be invited to build gillnet boat replicas. The first boat will be built by a team comprising one individual from each of six communities. These individuals will then recruit others from their community to build their own boat in the Depot for use in local and regional activities. In time, as the number of boats grow, competitions and regattas will bring back this iconic boat, rebuilding ties between local corn-

//[p

rnunities and representing the gillnet boat traditions outside the region.

Public Space The Barbey Maritime Center will also serve as a large, unique public meeting space. The Women's Waiting Room, with its beautiful coffered ceilings, paneled walls and Palladian windows, will easily accommodate banquets, lectures, and social events in an unparalleled setting along the Columbia River. At the same time the Barbey Maritime Center will also provide the only space in Astoria capable of handling groups such as out-board motor and steam engine enthusiasts with their large equipment and special needs.

The extensive commons area around the building, serving as an extension of the indoor space, further enhances the centers ability to handle events like antique boat and car shows and small trade shows needing both indoor and outdoor facilities.

Volunteers are an integral part of any museum. CRMM is so lucky to have a dedicated corps of volunteers that are willing to assist us with their skills and talent. Your museum could not survive without their commitment and enthusiasm.

We would like to recognize one volunteer that contributed 425 hours during 2012.

Steve Skinner could be considered a "Jack of all trades." Besides welcoming visitors on the Lightship; Steve led guided tours for Cub Scouts, school groups and adult groups; worked with families during the Museum's hands-on vacation programs; taught people how to make rope both in the Museum and at festivals;

assisted with craft projects; roamed the galleries interacting with visitors, filed records for the Curatorial department, and assisted with other education projects.

Bravo Zulu to Steve and his enthusiasm for volunteering.

A special thank you to Alice Philpott for her generous support of the Barbey Maritime Center with her donation of tools to the wood shop.

We bid Volunteer Coordinator, Jackie Welborn, farewell. Jackie is pursuing a career in nursing as she attends Clatsop Community College's nursing program.

Her bubbly personality, enthusiasm, and infectious laugh will be truly missed.

CRMM welcomes Genia Van Wormer as our new Volunteer Coordinator. Genia hales from Seattle and has years of experience in the customer service world.

Welcome Genia.

The education staff would like to acknowledge the generous gifts that were received to further the mission of the Museum and provide lifelong learning opportunities to visitors and students.

U.S. Bank gave $1,500 to assist us in purchasing new technology equipment to use in our outreach programs.

Quest for Truth Foundation, a steadfast partner for CRMM education programs, gifted us with $30,000 to further enhance our educational presentations and offerings.

Friends of the Columbia River Maritime Museum donated $1,200 to be used for programming with local school children.

Carol Moore The QuarterDeck Spring 2013

Memorials It is with great sadness that we note the passing of long time Museum volunteer Carol Moore. Carol was involved with many organizations in Astoria since moving here in 1961, giving unselfishly of her talents and time. Her first assignment as a volunteer at the Museum was in 1982 when she helped in the store. Later Carol assisted in the curatorial department. During her time at the Museum Carol donated more than 3,240 hours and at almost 100 years old was an inspiration to all of us.

Frankye Thompson, will be remembered for her sense of humor and her dedication to the Museum. She was one of the first Museum Store volunteers and was very involved in the Friends of the Columbia River Maritime Museum.

Frankye tirelessly spent hours creating cedar float souvenirs to sell to tourists visiting Astoria. Often she took a picture of a cruise ship as it docked at the port and then printed the pictures, gluing them on floats to sell inside the Museum. Her creativity raised money for many Museum projects and education programs. One of her floats is on display at the Smithsonian.

We are proud to have known Frankye and will miss her.

Joining the Museum's vuluuleer <.:rew in 2000 Earl Philpott was a regular face on Sundays in the Museum Store and Fridays on the Lightship Columbia. Working as a merchant seaman for 40 years Earl brought a wealth of maritime knowledge to CRMM. His expertise gave our visitors the opportunity to learn more as they engaged in conversations with him. His generosity is observed in the 2,900 hours he gave to support the Museum. Earl will be missed.
