Anannual report is the traditional opportunity to fly the flag of accomplishments and good deeds. It's a time to take stock of all the successes, work, and contributions of the entire year. It's a time to measure our units of merit: not just our fiscal success or failure, but also our volunteer and visitor activities, educational programs, exhibits, outreach, and collections gains - in short, all of the activities that define a museum.

But this year's annual report represents much more. In the sixteen years since the Columbia River Maritime Museum moved into its "new" waterfront building, there has never been a more exciting time. Over the past three years, we have studied carefully our strengths and weaknesses. From this data, we have developed an exciting new vision for the Museum - a vision that includes a new theatre, an expanded Museum Store, innovative new exhibits, and a larger library and research facility. We stand poised to take our fine waterfront facility and make it even better: a better place for visitors, for preserving the maritime past that forms so much of our community's heritage, and for learning.

As we look back over the past year, we offer a very positive account of our activities as a strong foundation for moving forward towards our future. This report contains all the information you might normally expect in an annual report, supported by such data as charts and financial statements. But you will find more, as I have asked our crew to share not just performance data, but also an account of what we've actually been doing.

As members and friends of the Museum, you

deserve nothing less. After all, it's what we actually do that determines who and what we are.

I am confident that you will see that the Columbia River Maritime Museum is on the move. A great change is taking place. Accomplishing the Museum's goals, and setting new and higher ones, is the daily work of our very fine and dedicated crew. Together, we are making all the moves any healthy institution must make to remain vital and active. Each one of us should take great pleasure and pride in the accomplishments of our 36th year, and share a great sense of excitement over the voyage ahead.

Highlights: 1998 in Review The excitement and challenge of planning has been a highlight of the year, and we continue to work to make our dreams a reality. New exhibits, interactive techniques, and expanded facilities will provide both education and enjoyment to our many audiences, and transform our museum into a "must-see" cultural facility on the Northwest Coast.

Crowds lined up for the movies outside the Kem Room during the visit of USS In May, the battleship USS Missouri visited Astoria (see story pg. 6), bringing record numbers of visitors to the Museum. In fact, we hosted 5,000 more people in May than we did at the same time last year! We are proud of the great job our volunteers and staff did in hosting so many Navy and history buffs, both aboard the battleship and at the Museum. We're equally proud to report that this year, the Museum has attracted record membership - our ranks now number 1,742

Missouri in May. The Museum offered hourly films showing the battleship during the Persian Gulf War and the Japanese surrender ceremony in August 1945. Visitor interest was so strong that we doubled the showings to every half-hour! A brand-new theatre is planned for the Museum expansion, where films, lectures, concerts, and multimedia experiences will give visitors a lasting sense of the immense natural forces and fascinating stories along the Great River of the West.

The Museum's mission: To collect and preserve historical material relevant to the Columbia River, and to display and interpret selected material from the collection for the education and enjoyment of the public.

- and that these generous members have contributed $125,471, a record amount of financial support!

The Museum's "star" boat, the salmon troller Darle, will appear in harbor scenes in the major motion picture Snow Falling on Cedars (release date: February 1999).

Darle's next starring role will be as a centerpiece for brand-new fishing and canneries exhibits in the Museum's Great Hall. These new exhibits are part of the Museum's daring new Master Interpretive plan (see pg. 8-9).

Education This last year was one of great growth for the Education Department. With the Museum's renewed commitment to lifelong learning, the theme for the department was "the year of the program." With that goal, the challenge was to maintain and improve existing programs while also developing new programs to reach a broader audience.

Continuing Programs

With the Museum's renewed commitment to lifelong learning, the theme for the department was "the year of the program."

School field trips to the Museum continue to be popular. One hundred and thirtyfive schools and 5,134 students took part in either Chart Your Course Through History (a docent-led tour) or The Explorer's Tour (self-guided). This was an increase of 17 schools and 1,239 students over last year.

The Museum in a Trunk Program also saw an increase in use. This year the program reached 20 schools and more than 3,600 students, taking Museum resources into the classroom through replicas, videos, references, and Teacher's guides.

Education Assistant Elaine Rusinovich presented a full slate of new and challenging programs through the Museum in the Schools program. Popular programs included

MUSEUM

Whale's Tales and Scrimshaw, Paddlewheelers up the Columbia, the Wreck of the Peter Iredale, and the Lightship Columbia. Elaine presented 105 programs to 3,150 students over the school year, all free of charge to Clatsop and Pacific County schools.

New School Programs Launched last November, The Journal of Samuel Mills is a 32-page illustrated book that follows the journey of a young man from New Bedford to the Northwest whaling grounds. Funded by Wells Fargo, Samuel's story provides students with an exciting look into one important facet of maritime history.

Daily lesson plans, activities and journal readings make this book a multi-disciplinary supplement to the upper elementary curriculum. The Journal ofSamuel Mills is currently in use in 310 schools throughout the Northwest.

New this school year is the Adopt-a-Ship/ Adopt-a-Class Program. The Museum has partnered with the US Coast Guard to use the Museum and the USCG cutters Steadfast and Alert as learning laboratories to supplement and enrich classroom education. Local elementary classes "adopt" one of the cutters.

Through class visits to the cutter and Museum, classroom visits by the crew, "at sea" updates,

Ropemaking is one of the favori te activities in our Museum in the Schools Program.

and a study guide prepared by the Museum, students sharpen their math, science, social studies, and critical thinking skills. A highlight of the program is C.G. Bear, a stuffed mascot, who serves as class representative on board the cutters during patrols. C.G. sends his class messages from his voyage via e-mail, photos, postcards, and letters so that the class may chart his journey. At the end of the school year the students will spend a full day on board "their" cutter serving as crew, and will perform a community service project that reflects the missions of the Museum and the Coast Guard.

To reach an even larger audience, the Museum has established our own domain on the Internet. By typing in www.crmm.org, web surfers learn about all that the Museum has to offer visitors, researchers, educators, and maritime buffs. Viewers can take a virtual tour of the Museum, educators can download lesson plans, and children can follow the adventures of C.G. Bear. The web-site is developed and maintained through a partnership with Astoria High School students as part of their science and technology program classwork.

Lifelong & Year-round Learning Realizing that education does not end with graduation or during vacation, the Education Department offered 40 special interest programs throughout the year.

Richard Fencsak presented a 10-week Survey of Columbia River History course.

Fifty people took part in this series of classes that covered a wide range of maritime topics, from the Pacific Graveyard, to the age of sail, to Native American culture. The popular Maritime Lecture Series continued with presentations on Captain Cook's legacy and Rosie the Riveter.

Two grants from the Oregon Council for the Humanities allowed us to bring guest lecturers to the Museum. Dr. Dianne Dugaw presented songs and stories during her program Women Sailors and Soldiers in Folksong, and Professor Joanne Mulcahy presented Clotheslines: Finding Art in Everyday Items.

USS Missouri Visit

The USS Missouri exhibit was a huge success.

Visitation to the Museum increased by 5,000 people over the same month last year!

One of the biggest challenges and greatest opportunities for the Museum this year was the visit to Astoria of the USS Missouri. The Museum was given the privilege of hosting deck tours of the famous battleship. Planning for tours of a battleship proved to be a huge task, equal only to the size of the ship, and involved every department in the Museum. The Education Department handled the press releases, media contacts, and special requests that poured in daily from all over the country. Education and Curatorial designed and wrote a commemorative guidebook, sponsored by local businessmen, and handed out free-of-charge to those who visited the battleship. Dave Pearson, Associate Curator, designed a special USS Missouri exhibit and theater presentation using items from the Museum

collections, photo murals, and historic film footage.

A crew of guides was recruited, trained, outfitted, and assigned duty stations both on Missouri and at the Museum. More than 50 volunteers took part in six weeks of training sessions to learn all of the Mighty Mo's history, specifications, and armaments. The Museum Store, Visitor Services, and Maintenance crew geared up for the expected increase in visitors to the Museum.

When all was said and done, 57,000 people toured the deck of Missouri over five

days. Visitation to the Museum was up 5,000 people over the same month last year. Over 1,100 volunteer hours were donated to the effort.

The Museum was featured in segments on the ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and independent broadcast affiliates. The Museum also received coverage in the local and regional press and on local and Portland radio stations.

The Oregonian offered the Museum a special number on their Inside Line news network, for daily updates about the Missouri's visit to Astoria and the Museum's special exhibit. The line received over 3,000 telephone calls. ~

"Charting a New Course''

The Columbia River Maritime Museum will build a new identity as a "must-see" cultural facility, as well as one of the leading maritime museums in the nation.

The Columbia River Maritime Museum Master Plan The past three years have seen tremendous growth and excitement at the Maritime Museum. Thanks to a comprehensive master planning process, the Museum has developed a long-range vision for its future that incorporates new exhibits, new facilities and a renewed focus on the maritime history of the Columbia River.

The Interpretive Master Plan enables the Museum to remain constant in its messages about the Columbia River, but ever changing in the means of delivery. The Museum will become a lifelong learning center - a place for a diverse audience to return to again and again. Highlights include new exhibits, a new store and refreshments area, a new library, and a theater.

Future visitors would begin their Museum visit with an exciting 15-minute multimedia show focusing on the Columbia River Bar. A clock announces upcoming screenings of the Museum's two orientation films. Visitors enter a 45-seat theater, where lighting, props, and a mural create a continuous maritime ambiance.

fJ 8

The Museum's Great Hall will come alive as the setting for the powerful human story of the Columbia River, sharing the drama of the men and women who have lived on and along the River throughout history. In addition, a major exhibit focusing on the powerful story oflife and death on the Columbia River Bar will greet visitors upon arrival at the Museum.

Major Steps in Planning The Columbia River Maritime Museum Master Plan is the result of over three years of extensive planning and design. Throughout this process, the Museum has remained focused on the story of the Great River of the West.

1996-1997: National Endowment for the Humanities Self-Study Program. The

Museum gathered a group of nationallyrecognized scholars to work with Museum staff, trustees, members, volunteers and members of the community. This project focused on identifying key themes for the Museum to address in future exhibits.

1997: Museum Planning Retreat.

Museum trustees and staff gathered for two days to develop a Museum vision statement and a set of values to guide it in its future plans. This retreat also defined the Museum's style and resulted in a commitment from board and staff that any future growth will reflect the current commitment to the highest quality Quarterdeck, Vol. 25 No. 1

Curatorial

Museum Store

In the curatorial department, the year's goals were geared toward modem information management. A milestone was reached with the completion of the computerized library catalogue, generating a new level of interest and activity in the research library. In addition to special projects such as the visit of USS Missouri, temporary exhibits, and the master interpretive planning process, curatorial has worked steadily on the acquisition of new artifacts, documentation of existing collections, and ongoing care of collections. We couldn't do it all without the regular help of our curatorial volunteers to keep the many tasks of collections management rolling smoothly. We are ever grateful for their assistance!

Recent Acquisitions Over 75 new collections were added this year, adding over 250 artifacts to the Museum's holdings. Many (such as a model for a revolutionary hull design for use by the bar pilots) are contemporary items that document recent maritime activity on the Columbia. The recreational watercraft collection was greatly enriched by the addition of a 1940s canoe built by the Willits Brothers in Tacoma. Conservation of a painting of Astoria's Farmers' Cooperative Wharf enabled its return to prominent display.

A Catalogue for the Next Century In May, we reached substantial completion on the long-awaited library cataloguing project, thanks to generous financial support from Museum members and from the Oregon Community Foundation. Arline Schmidt accomplished computer cataloguing and the physical reorganization of over 6,000 books in the Museum's library. For the first time, we have a searchable catalogue that enables staff and researchers to find books easily.

Media, documentary makers, students, and publishers continue to make extensive use of the library's resources, particularly our collection of historic photographs.

This year the Museum Store moved ahead in its efforts to assist and enhance the programs of other departments, as well as continuing to meet the needs of Museum visitors.

Two posters were printed to complement the outstanding exhibition "Steichen & His Men." Additionally, the Store worked closely with the Education Department to develop the Vacation Pirate School, and continues to be a resource for the Museum in the Schools Program.

The Museum Store went on-line this year.

You can browse our new website at www.crmm.org. The Store reprinted merchandise bags with the addition of membership information on the back, making each and every merchandise purchase a double-edged marketing tool. New products bearing the Columbia River Maritime Museum's logo include an embroidered polo shirt, an engraved, clear-glass coffee mug and an engraved, clear- glass paperweight.

When the USS Missouri came to Astoria, the store did yeoman's work keeping up with the pressing demand for Missouri memorabilia by supplying T-shirts (made locally), posters, prints, patches, models, and videos of the famous vessel.

The year ended a profitable one; gross sales reached $188,000. The increase of gross sales over last year's $173,000 is largely due to the profits generated by the visit of the USS Missouri. The year-end transfer to the General Fund was once again $30,000.

The profit-earning potential of the Museum Store continues to grow with each passing year. Future Museum growth plans ensure that the Store will expand exponentially to meet the needs of our visitors, members, and the general public.
