NO. 1

THE S.S. ROBERT DOLLAR, SAN FRANCISCO BAY, CIRCA 1911 A unique model of the freighter S.S. Robert Dollar was recently added to the Museum's exhibits. That ship marked a milestone in the economic history of the Pacific Northwest when she carried the first cargo of whole logs to Japan in 1912, thereby setting the precedent for a trade that still arouses bitter controversy among Northwest ports and timber interests.

Previously, only sawn lumber had been exported to the Orient, but Japanese businessmen then decided to test the economic value of sawing American logs in their own mills.

Launched at Glasgow, Scotland in 1911 by A. Rodger & Co., the Robert Dollar was built of steel and powered by a triple-expansion steam engine of 257 nominal horsepower. The engine had a stroke of 48 inches and cylinder diameters of 26, 43, and 72 inches. The ship's dimensions were 410 feet in length, 54 feet in breadth, and 29 feet 9 inches in moulded depth, producing a gross tonnage of 5,356.04.

Although operated in the Asian trade out of San Francisco under the management of the Robert Dollar Company, the ship was registered to the Dollar Steamship Lines, Ltd. under the British flag in order to escape U .S. regulation. She was named for her owner, Robert Dollar (1844-1932) . He was a poor Scot by birth who emigrated as a youth first to Canada and later the

United States, working his way up from the very bottom in the timber industry. He expanded into shipping to control his transportation costs, and from a modest beginning with lumber schooners eventually ventured into inter-coastal and transPacific services. The Dollar Line was the largest U .S. steamship company at the time of Dollar's death in 1932, but it soon suffered from poor management and was reorganized in 1938 as the American President Line.

The original Robert Dollar was sold to S. Nakamura about 1918 and became the Unkai Maru No. 5 under the Japanese flag . A new and much larger ship bearing the Dollar name was soon launched in Germany . There was also, confusingly, a small steamer named the Robert Dollar II that operated on the upper Yangtse River in China.

The Museum's model of the Robert Dollar, donated by Mr. George B. Malarkey of Portland, is a striking and unusual piece of work. It is ten feet in length and was obviously made at the time of the ship's construction for her owner by a professional model builder. The unusual thing about the model is that, although it has a superstructure and rigging, it is actually a half model mounted against a mirror to present the illusion of a {continued on page 2}

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN STATE CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

FROM THE QUARTERDECK Of the many pictures that hang in the Museum one of my favorites is a colorful oil depicting the wharf and warehouse of the Astoria Farmer's Co-Op painted in 1873 by G .H . Elvin.

Towering over the wharf, and almost surrounding it, are the masts, spars and rigging of no fewer than eight ships and barques, all apparently taking on Willamette Valley wheat for export. Flags fly in profusion from nearly every mast. Hands are busy aloft, furling and sending down sails. Derricks are in operation. Out on the river, a sternwheeler approaches the landing, and a husky steam tug bustles along in the foreground as townspeople, out for a constitutional, observe it all from the planked pier.

In addition to the artist's charming, unsophisticated style, it is the busyness of the scene he depicted more than a century ago that captures my imagination. Could anyone, in any age, I wonder, not be thrilled by such a sight? And the fact that the building where Elvin's painting now hangs, and where I sit writing about it, was built on the exact site of that once-busy wharf only adds to the picture's appeal.

We may never see eight square-riggers together here, as Elvin did. But, thanks to Burlington Northern railroad and others, this historic part of the Astoria waterfront will once again be alive with the comings and goings of ships and boats on the river. Last summer Burlington Northern donated to the Museum three acres of submerged land lying immediately to the East of the Museum building. On that site the trustees have determined to construct a pier and a large float to provide moorage for visiting historic ships and to serve as a base of operations for Museum-sponsored small craft activity and related events.

Michael Naab, Director

A new mandatory curriculum dealing with the importance of water uses will be required in Oregon grade schools by the State. Oregon State University's Marine Science Center at Newport is responsible for putting together this curriculum, and they have asked the Museum's education department to develop a unit for them on the evolution of water transportation on the Columbia River. Museum Education Coordinator Richard Fencsak intends to emphasize the great changes brought about on the river by advances in marine propulsion from the days of the Indian and fur trader canoes to modern freighters and towboats. The completed curriculum unit will include both textual and audio-visual material and will be distributed throughout Oregon by education service districts.

HUNDREDS ENJOY HOLIDAY MUSIC AT THE MUSEUM Our fourth annual Christmas music program was presented in the Great Hall of the Museum on Sunday, December 22nd. This event has become very popular and was attended this year by several hundred people during the course of the afternoon-long free concert. The program featured an unusual blend of music ranging from traditional carols and classical to a West Indian-style steel band. Performers included: Jennifer Goodenberger, Janet Bowler, the Astoria Tuba Quartet, and the Grace Episcopal Church Choir (all of Astoria); Mark Goodenberger of Portland; and Seattle's Bakra Bata' steel band.

THE S.S. ROBERT DOLLAR (CONTINUED) complete model. The mirror used was silvered on the front in order to better maintain this illusion. Had an ordinary mirror with the silver on the back of the glass been used, then a gap equal to the thickness of the mirror's glass would have appeared between the model and its reflection. Other examples of such models exist, but they are relatively rare, and this writer has never seen another as large as this one.

VOLUNTEER POTLUCK

ASSOCIATE CURATOR TO JOIN STAFF

A potluck dinner for the Museum's volunteers and staff will be held in the Museum on Friday, February 28th at 7:30 p.m. Such dinners are held a couple of times each year with the objects of recognizing the vital contributions made by intrepid volunteers to our operations, and of providing an opportunity for the volunteers and staff to gather in a relaxed atmosphere of good fellowship to become better acquainted with those who work in other areas of the Museum. If you have time to do volunteer work, let us know, and you too could qualify to join this noble band!

The Board of Trustees has approved creation of a new associate curator position on the staff. The associate curator will assist the curator (who is also responsible for registration, librarian, and editorial duties) in processing the increasing volume of information requests and donations to our collection that have resulted from widened awareness of the Museum's quality, following the opening of our new building in 1982. The Museum is already reviewing the credentials of numerous well qualified applicants, and we should have the new associate curator "on board" before the end of spring .

A MARITIME WHAT'S-IT This picture of an intriguing, if somewhat perilous, looking craft was donated a couple of years ago among a group of photographs taken by Leslie 0 . Hale (1898-1946), a professional photographer who worked in Portland and Seaside.

The exact date and place were not identified, but the Seaside vicinity seems likely. The vessel's name seems to be the Dyne, and the sign on her side proclaims, "Surf Ride, ½ Hr. 50' ." We would be obliged to anyone who can provide some additional history on this unique boat .
