The World War II Navy Photographs of Victor Jorgensen
1945, while a member of Edward Steichen's special photographic unit in the U.S. Navy. Jorgensen and his colleagues recorded events unique in human history. Never again will we see the enormous fleets of fighting ships, aircraft carriers and support ships that massed in the Pacific theater-the largest naval operation the world has ever known. "Return to Manila" vividly documents life aboard the ships fifty years ago, as naval avi-

December 7, 1994, the 53rd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, also marked the opening of the Museum's World War II commemorative exhibition, "Return to Manila." The Kern Room show features fifty-three vintage photographs by the late Victor Jorgensen of West Linn, taken aboard four U.S. fighting ships in the Pacific. Images were selected from thousands Jorgensen took in the Pacific theater between late 1943 and June
Join us for this photographic tribute to the cataclysmic events of World War II, culminating in General MacArthur's return to Manila as Allied forces won back island after island overrun by the Japanese in 1941. The exhibition continues in the Kern Room through summer 1995. Please turn to page 4 for a profile of Victor Jorgensen.

Recently, there has been some debate in the press regarding the Smithsonian's proposed exhibition designed around the Enola Gay, the airplane which dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. This exhibit, originally conceived to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of our war with Japan, has resulted in a heated cloud of debate over what constitutes the role of museums in the telling of history. Although some of the smoke and dust is now beginning to settle around the Washington Mall, the debate demonstrates to everyone just how challenging this business of historical interpretation can be.

Currently, the Columbia River Maritime Museum is commemorating the Second World War with an exhibition of outstanding Navy photographs-original vintage prints of images actually taken by Lt. Victor Jorgensen during his Navy tour as a documentary photographer. The exhibit, more fully described by Curator Anne Witty elsewhere in this issue of the Quarterdeck, is a most powerful teacher by virtue of the very broad range of human emotions expressed by the sailors and pilots Jorgensen documented. Although Victor and Betty Jorgensen's exhibit labels are certainly informative, we leave it to you, the visitor, to reflect upon the great war in the Pacific some 50 years ago. And we leave it to the actual photographs, captured moments of time, to demonstrate what life was all about in that great conflict just a half century ago.

One of these challenges seems to be that what we call history is, at best, our own impressions of events based upon our own experiences. For instance, my notions about the Pacific theater in World War II will never reach the same level of understanding as those my father held, no matter what I read or to whom I talk. My father served in the 4th Marines on both Bataan and Corregidor, survived the Bataan Death March, and somehow lived through two and one half years as a POW. Let there be no doubt that his experience was not a subject suitable for discussion at the dinner table. Yet a retrospective analysis some 50 years later might well lead a contemporary researcher to conclusions markedly different from those my father or his peers knew as "history."

Precisely because of this problem, museum educators must make every effort to assist our visitors in seeking their own truths. Certainly provocative and stimulating exhibits, special programs, and well trained docents are the tools which museums use to do this, but it is the actual objects from within our collections that tell the story. That is why the primary mission of museums and heritage preservation institutions is to collect and preserve artifacts, photographs, and other historical records. Museums must insure that the "real stuff" of history is not lost. This idea, that the fabric of history is of great value, is significant because artifacts are the most stimulating, fascinating, and thought provoking items of any society. Because museum artifact collections contain the "real McCoy," and not just replicas or someone's idea of what old objects or images should look like, objects from the collections can be the least confused teachers of history. This inherent characteristic of collections is precisely why museums are such great places to visit, and why they are worthy of our support.

When Jim got back to the Museum, he poured himself a cup of coffee and slowly began to take in what had happened. Thanks to CPR training, which the Museum encourages all employees to take, Jim's efforts had a positive outcome. An hour later Jim called the hospital to find that the man had survived the incident and was doing well. Relieved, Jim said, "The best part of all is that he can spend Christmas with his family." We are very proud to have Jim Nyberg on our crew, and to know that the efforts the Museum puts into staff training are definitely worthwhile.

Jim, who is CRMM maintenance foreman, had learned CPR through an American Red Cross training session for Museum staff. Most people never need to use this skill, but Jim acted immediately when he recognized the life-threatening situation. In a few minutes another trained passerby detected a pulse, a sign that Jim's efforts were sustaining life. When medics arrived, they took over and transported the man to the hospital.

Bob took the canoe on a maiden voyage one Saturday and says it floats just fine! Thanks to our volunteers for their initiative in these fine programs.
Visitor Services Coordinator Trish Custard has brought her considerable professional background to the additional duties of Museum Education Coordinator. We look forward to hearing more from Trish as her school and outreach programs develop.
Finally, as the new Quarterdeck editor, I plan to continue the tradition of a high quality publication representing the Museum. Thanks to Hobe Kytr's fine work on Harold Nelson's Knappton Towboat article, we achieved a smooth editorial transition with last autumn's issue. I am glad to be on the CRMM crew, and look forward to meeting many of you. Please write or call me if you have any ideas, suggestions or guest stories for The Quarterdeck.
Also leaving many accomplishments in her wake, Collections Manager Barbara Minard has left the Museum. We welcome David Pearson to his new berth as Registrar and Collections Manager, to which he brings many skills in historic preservation and museum work.

As many of you may know, Hobe Kytr, editor of The Quarterdeck and Museum Education Coordinator, left the staff last August. We all appreciate the energy he brought to his work and particularly to the scholarly development of The Quarterdeck. This testament to Hobe's considerable abilities as researcher and editor is evident to all of our longtime readers.

Columbia River Maritime Museum News and Notes
The Museum Education Department has been busy with a series of outreach programs. In January, Museum volunteer Byron Ruppel led a hands-on exploration of navigational technology from WWII to the present. Aboard the bridges of USS Knapp, lightship Columbia and USCG Cutter Steadfast, local high school participants plotted their location, donned sound powered headphones and experienced the challenges of working on the vessels. Also in January, Museum docent Bob Peterson instigated a kayak-building

Thanks to a grant from the Oregon Chautauqua program, the Museum was able to present anthropologist Courtland Smith in late February. Dr. Smith's talk, entitled "Salmon: Struggle for Survival," explored the importance of salmon to all Northwesterners throughout history. Among the audience were two dozen undergraduates from the Maritime Studies program at Mystic Seaport (Conn.), who were at the Museum to kick off their week-long Pacific Coast field seminar.
Ever wonder why old outboards are sometimes called knuckle busters, eggbeaters, kickers, and coffee grinders? The answer is in our upcoming outboard motor exhibit, which fills the Museum's Great Hall from April 1 until October 31, 1995. More than fifty outboard motors from as early as 1911 to the latest 1995 prototype will be displayed, along with outboard-powered work boats, pleasure boats and racing craft. Don't miss it!

Throw the Oars Away!
Editor, Karen Carpenter. Editorial Staff: Jerry Ostermiller, Anne Witty, Trish Custard.
On a Monday in December, amid the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping, Jim Nyberg saved a man's life. During his lunch hour, Jim performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a man suffering a heart attack in downtown Astoria.
Captain Bill Peterson, one of the founders of the Oregon Maritime Center and Museum in Portland, Oregon, passed away in January. As a colleague and kindred spirit, dedicated to the preservation of virtually anything and everything maritime, his presence will be missed by many. Bill was a member of the Nautical Society of Oregon, and an avid collector of historical maritime artifacts. In 1978, along with Dr. Everett Jones and others, he started working on the concept of a maritime center for Portland. Within two years that concept was a reality. At the time of his death, Bill was serving his sixth year as their President. We honor Captain Bill Peterson's legacy in our sister maritime institution, and extend our condolences to his family and associates.
Steichen selected 100 photos from the group and made them into a 1946 exhibition in New York's Museum of Modern Art. That famous show was repeated in 1994 at the National Archives in Philadelphia.
Retired since 1981, Jorgensen works in his woodworking shop making furniture, clock cases, model ships and what he calls "whatnot." Tall and lanky, he is cheerful and casual, wearing khaki pants and a tan cardigan. Betty Jorgensen is busy at her hobby of eight years, constructing crossword puzzles that appear in newspapers from The Oregonian to the New York Times. Their kitchen window looks out on clouds drifting across Mount St. Helens. On their deck are several busy bird feeders, on their table a color chart for quick bird identification.
In his den, Jorgensen sifts through boxes of 10 ½ x 10 ½ prints, luminous black and white fractions of seconds aboard two aircraft carriers, a destroyer, and a hospital ship. In one photo, a nearby carrier glides through U.S. anti-aircraft bursts surrounding a sea-skimming Japanese plane. In another, a depth charge blossom towers over the tiny submarine chaser that dropped it. Another shows a corpsman gently spooning ice cream into the mouth hole of a bandage over a burn victim's head. But most of the pictures are of day-to-day activities: officers and sailors working, lounging or waiting. Future President Gerald R. Ford, then an ensign, plays basketball on an aircraft carrier hangar deck.

8, 1913 in Portland, Jorgensen sailed all over the Pacific with the Navy during the war. Then for eight years afterward, he motored with his wife over much of Africa and Europe as a free-lance pho tographer.
Their work has been familiar ever since in books about the Pacific war. One of the six, Dwight Long, produced the documentary "The Fighting Lady," whose combat footage appears in scores of dramatic and documentary films

Jorgensen was one of the six photographers chosen by Edward Steichen, then a new lieutenant commander with the U.S.
A favorite pastime for off-duty crew aboard USS Albert W. Grant, as on any Navy ship, was poring over precious mail from home. Photograph by Victor Jorgensen.
"I'll admit the [National Archives] exhibit has stirred me to get out my old photos," Jorgensen said. "The negatives are Navy property in the archives somewhere, if you can find them, but we could keep all the prints we wanted. I have about a thousand. I'm trying to reconstruct captions for them."
"No, I'm not going back to Philly," Jorgensen said recently in the West Linn home he shares with his wife, Betty. "I've done my traveling."
World War II was a snap for Victor Jorgensen actually, several thousand snaps.
Navy, to record the human side of the Navy at war from 1942 through 1945.
The following article, written by Ted Mahar, was published in The Oregonian on May 26, 1994. CRMM Curator Anne Witty had already begun working with Victor and Betty Jorgensen to select images for an exhibition at the Columbia River Maritime Museum. Mr. Mahar's profile not only captures Mr. Jorgensen's World War II experiences in his own words, but also reflects Jorgensen's articulate, good-humored personality. Just three weeks after the piece was published, Victor Jorgensen passed away. We thank The Oregonian for permission to share Ted Mahar's sensitive profile with Museum members.
Oregon Photographer Remembers the War in the Pacific

"Photography was getting a bit boring," Jorgensen said. "I kept finding myself in places I'd been before to do jobs I'd done before. And TV was beginning to kill off some of the markets."
"If you survive, when it's all over, you forget all the misery and boredom, and it seems like it was fun and exciting ... I look at these pictures and realize how much I've forgotten."
Jorgensen
Steichen's energy was phenomenal. "I was a glorified gofer for him, and I had to run like hell to keep up with him," Jorgensen said. Once the U.S. naval offensive began in November 1943, Steichen's crew dispersed all over the Pacific individually, but Jorgensen accompanied Steichen on USS Lexington, a new heavy carrier supporting the Tarawa invasion.
No. 2 screw [propeller], and there was a big jolt and a loud noise like rattling big jar of bolts. For a few minutes I was relieved. I didn't realize they would keep atus."
Down to the sea in boats
"That was my first real combat and the longest time I was scared," Jorgensen said. "We were under air attack for 36 hours, and [the Japanese] were well coordinated. Their acoustic torpedoes worked, and ours didn't. They got us in the
The Lexington limped back to Pearl Harbor for repairs. Not so lucky, the light carrier USS Liscome Bay took a submarine torpedo in her bomb-storage area. The ship blew in half and sank in 23 minutes with a loss of nearly 700 lives. "We could see the glow over the horizon," Jorgensen said. "It made one hell of a bang."
While Collier's, Look and other big pictorial magazines folded, Jorgensen became editor of the 1,500 subscriber magazine The Chesapeake Skipper in 1955. He dropped the "Chesapeake" and made it a national magazine. Circulation was 50,000 when he left in 1968 so he and Betty could care for her parents in Portland.
Jorgensen was also a friend of Richard L. Neuberger, who later became a U.S. Senator. "Dick told me about Steichen's project, and I applied," Jorgensen said. He sent samples of his photos to Steichen, who was by then an internationally honored portrait photographer with a background in painting. Belgian-born Steichen and his family had fled German troops in France in 1914. Three years later he returned to France in the U.S. Army Signal Corps to lead the first aerial photo
Jorgensen's next combat tour was the June-July 1944 campaign for the Marianas Saipan, Guam, Rota. He found that flying on missions was exciting but unproductive as well as potentially fatal. "Their flak came in different colors, like tracers every few shots so they could see where each gun was hitting," Jorgensen said. "Very pretty, as long as it didn't hit you. I only went on four missions, because it all went so fast that I couldn't get any shots." Nor could he photograph the most famous event of the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea, the hair-raising night landing of Adm. Marc Mitscher's bombers that had mauled a Japanese fleet in an evening strike. Mitscher ordered all ships lit up so that his fliers, who had 11u 11igltl lamli11g experience, could find the task force. "Not many got to their own carriers, and a lot went into the drink, but we fished most of them out," Jorgensen said.

money in those days. He took pictures for his own amusement and for The Oregonian, often contributing to the long defunct supplement, Picture Parade.
Boatless now, the Jorgensens have owned several. But he smiled wistfully when describing the 46-footer they sailed around Chesapeake Bay and beyond. "I'd done some boating in Portland before the Navy," Jorgensen said. "But that really got me started."
He often grins as he reminisces. "If you survive, when it's all over, you forget all the misery and boredom, and it seems like it was fun and exciting," Jorgensen said. "I look at these pictures and realize how much I've forgotten."
Quarterdeck, Vol. 21 No. 1
After attending the University of Oregon and Reed College, Jorgensen became a copy boy at The Oregonian in 1934. "I gnawed my way up," he said. By the time he left to become an ensign in 1942, he was a news editor. One of his stopovers was as church editor. "I'm not really religious," Jorgensen said, "and they canned me from that after a year for cussing."
Up to the sky in planes
He developed an interest in photography, mentored by Frank Sterrett, a legendary photographer at The Oregonian, who nudged Jorgensen into buying a Leica camera for $125, a large amount of
Steichen's photographers gambled that they would make the right choices to get to the right place at the right time to get good shots. "We wrote our own orders," Jorgensen said. "Basically, they said we could go where we wanted, do what we chose and go home when we felt like it. One captain looked at my orders and said he'd give me $1,000 for them if he could."
spotted by moments of sheer terror. I haven't looked at these in forty years," Jorgensen said, holding two prints as if weighing them. "I'm amazed at the names I can't remember, all guys I knew I'd never forget. I recognize them all, but the names just won't come."
"I thought I was retiring," Jorgensen said. Instead, he and Betty started a newsletter called The Telltale Compass, a consumer report for boaters. "We took no advertising, so we were ruthless," Jorgensen said cheerily. The newsletter went under a year or so after Jorgensen sold it and retired in 1981. Their home was on two acres of Willamette River frontage on Old River Drive until three years ago when "the tax man ran us out."
reconnaissance division at age 38. He was 61 when the Army flatly rejected him in 1940, despite medals and commendations from France and the U.S. Army. It remains a mystery how he wangled a berth in the Navy in late 1941 to cover air operations. He finished the war with the rank of captain. "He was a political genius and had to be," Jorgensen said.
His den's floor-to-ceiling bookshelves are lined with nautical fiction, non-fiction, and history. A Zulu short spear called an assagai hangs on a wall, one souvenir of the nomadic life of a freelance photographer. When he and Betty discovered in 1955 that they were about to become parents after 20 years of marriage, they quit globetrotting and settled near Annapolis, Maryland.
Still, it had an element of roulette. "After it's all over, sometimes years later, you know where you were and what happened," Jorgensen said. "But at the time, you just saw your own little corner, and you really had no idea what was going on."
