As I shifted my presentation toward function and away from walls, floor plans and windows, I could clearly see the audience becoming more engaged and excited. This is precisely what one of our trustees meant when he suggested that we consciously use the phrase "so that ... " as we share the museum expansion project with others. I believe his point has merit. Therefore, let me use this phrase as I share with you what the Museum expansion project is really about.

So that ...
About a third of the way through a highly technical description, it occurred to me that what the audience really wanted to know were not blueprints, but how the visitor experience would be enhanced or expanded.
people can be gathered and organized for special tours. We are quadrupling the floor space of our Museum Store and adding a snack bar so that visitors will be better served and our retail income will increase. We are completely revising our use of the Great Hall so that strong, interactive exhibits will engage every visitor with clear, accurate and compelling storytelling. Finally, we are relocating staff offices and our research library to the east end of the Museum so that we can utilize every square foot of space near the entrance for the enhanced visitor experiences described above. This relocation will also add flexibility and increased capacity for staff and research operations.

As you read this issue of the Quarterdeck and learn more about this project, I invite you to imagine a first time visit to the newly expanded Museum. Imagine visiting an outstanding national maritime museum that has an international reputation for excellence, historical accuracy and quality that is also a fun and exciting learning center. Imagine a modem facility where entire families will enjoy a unique, meaningful and stimulating experience an experience so memorable that their visit will forever enhance their concept of what the Great River of the West is all about. I imagine that moving the Museum forward in this manner would make Rolf Klep mighty proud.
DanDutton
So that we can host more people and increase the community's use of our facilities, we are doubling our meeting room spaces. We are adding an orientation theatre so that each and every visitor can quickly gain an understanding of what they will see during their visit, and how our outstanding collections and exciting exhibits fit into the maritime history of the Great River of the West. We are opening up the north walls by installing large windows so that the best exhibit we could ever have, the Columbia River itself, will become the dominant feature of the Museum experience.

When I have shared these enhancements with various audiences the response has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic. The notion of "breaking out of the box" and "awaking the sleeping giant" has been quickly embraced as critical to maintain the Museums vitality and effectiveness.

The River is also the source of a rich and diverse maritime history. It has witnessed the rise of the trade routes of the region's first inhabitants, the exploratory voyages of Lewis and Clark, Robert Gray, and Captain James Cook, and the development of an intricate and highly developed system of navigation and transportation that is unrivaled in the West.
For centuries the Columbia River has oriented our culture, shaped our industries, enriched our lives, and served as the defining element of our region.
For centuries the Columbia River has oriented our culture, shaped our industries, enriched our lives, and served as the defining element of our region. From the River we have fed many nations, built and powered great cities, helped arm and win a World War, and created one of the nation's most complex hydropower systems, a system that even today drives our region's economy.
Since 1962, the Columbia River Maritime Museum has developed collections that reflect and speak of this diverse history, and has shared the history of the River with some 3,000,000 visitors. As the first accredited museum in Oregon, and with recognition nationally as one of the best in its field, the Museum seeks to build on its existing strengths. At the same time, the Museum seeks to offer new exhibits and programs that will excite and educate a rising generation.
Robley L. Mangold President Board of Trustees Columbia River Maritime Museum
Charting a New Course will bring to life the story of our great river, and will serve as a guiding force as our Museum meets the corning millennium. We invite everyone to learn about our plans, and to share in the excitement of our future.

Charting a New Course at the Columbia River Maritime Museum
Windows on the south side of the building will provide passers-by with a glimpse of the Museum's exciting new exhibits, while windows on the north side of the building will place the Museum's large boat collection in the context of the Columbia River. In addition, a new library and
Throughout the Museum and its grounds, visitors will enjoy an environment that is decidedly nautical. In addition to changes in the Museum itself, the Museum's grounds will be attractively landscaped, and will include maritime artifacts such as anchors, buoys, and signal flags. A new and dramatic Museum Lobby will welcome visitors from around the world and offer glimpses of the exciting things to come on a Museum visit. A newly expanded bookstore and cafe will serve visitors of all ages. Expanded galleries for changing exhibits, an education classroom, and a

Charting a New Course will literally help the Museum "break out of the box" and will change the way in which the Museum relates to its visitors and to its location on the banks of the Great River of the West. Features of the new Museum will include a prominent entrance facing Highway 30, a warm and welcoming lobby, a new Discovery Theater, a new cafe and bookstore, four new exhibits and a new traveling exhibit gallery. An expanded multi-purpose room will provide space for temporary exhibits, community events, educational lectures and symposia, and events designed to attract newer and younger audiences to the Museum.

At night, dramatic lighting will illuminate the Museum and the Lightship Columbia. In addition, benches and lighting will make the Museum's entry plaza the setting for summer concerts, educational programs, and public events. A riverfront walk will also connect the Museum to Astoria's downtown, and will include educational graphics focusing on the history of Astoria's fascinating waterfront.

The Columbia River Maritime Museum enjoys a unique financial position brought about by conservative and prudent trustees and by careful planning and management by the Museum's staff. Highlights include:
The Columbia River Maritime Museum has never operated at a deficit
The Maritime Museum has never spent principal from its endowment The Maritime Museum's fundraising costs have never exceeded eight percent of the Museum's budget.

The Museum's Great Hall will come alive with a scene from Astoria's salmon fishing heyday. In addition to exploring the Museum's bowpicker gillnet boat, sailing gillnet boat, and the newly-acquired troller Darle, visitors will learn about the region's canning operations and the diverse peoples who came to work in the Lower Columbia's seafood industry. Throughout the exhibit, visitors will share interpretive displays, and will be surrounded by the sights and sounds of Astoria's historic waterfront. Thanks to new large windows, all three of the Museum's fishing boats will be set against the drama of the Columbia River.
The Museum's new River View Vista will open the Museum and its exhibits to the power and majesty of the Columbia River, and provide a dramatic background for its many boats and artifacts. The Great River of the West gallery will include an exact replica of a towboat wheelhouse, a modem day shipping exhibit, and hands-on activities for children and adults alike. A weather station and nautical skills exhibit will round out the activities.

every day in the service of the U.S. Coast Guard. The centerpiece of this exhibit will be the Museum's newly acquired 44-foot motor lifeboat, the first of its kind built, and one of the last 44-footers to serve on the Columbia River Bar. The Museum's 36-foot wooden motor lifeboat will also be on display. The exhibit will be complemented by videos, fascinating artifacts, and hands-on activities for visitors of all ages. In addition to learning about the U.S. Coast Guard, visitors will suit up and travel along on a series of actual life-and-death rescues, an experience that many will remember forever.
The Columbia River Bar is without equal: Lloyds of London now considers it to be the most dangerous bar crossing in the world. Each year, the United States Coast Guard rescues hundreds of fisherman, mariners and tourists who find the Bar's waters beyond their abilities. A new exhibit, Semper Paratus , will tell the story of the brave men and women who risk their lives
The Columbia River Maritime Museum believes that every visitor should leave the Museum with a sense of the scale and history of the River. It is our goal to impart to visitors that:
COLUMBIA RIVER MARITIME MUSEUM
The Columbia River is both a gateway and a barrier to the Pacific Northwest. Though jetties and dredging have tamed the River, it can still be a treacherous and dangerous place. The Columbia River is a unique watercourse that has played, and continues to play, a central role as a highway for commerce and cultural exchange within the Pacific Northwest, and for ocean-going trade. Many occupations and cultures are associated with the Lower Columbia and the Pacific Ocean, historically and today.
Visitors will also learn about modem-day shipping on the River, and the role of commercial shipping in the economy of the West. In addition to video displays of traffic on the entire Columbia, visitors will learn about the Columbia's role in serving the Pacific Rim. A display on the River's towboats and grain barges will tell the story of this important and historic industry.

• This spring the Museum hosted a two-day Exhibit Evaluation Workshop conducted by Alice Parman of Formations Inc. and Margie Marino, Design and Development Manager at the Denver Museum of Natural History. The workshop trained staff and volunteers on how to write and administer visitor surveys. Since the workshop, a dedicated crew of volunteers has administered surveys to Museum visitors and local residents. Visitors were asked about their expectations of the Museum. The surveys will be used to help the Museum design the new exhibits in the Great Hall.

shipwreck. Oregon's own New Carissa. The museum was given the builders plaque from the vessel, a gyro-repeater compass, the port and starboard running lights, and the scarred and severely burned nameboard from the vessel. All of these items are on display in the Great Hall this summer, in an exhibit on the Salvage of the New Carissa.

The Emily F. Whitney is a full-rigged Downeaster, built in 1879 by Abiel Grove at East Boston, Massachusetts. The first 17 years of her career she was managed by J.H. Flitner and Co. of Boston. The ship later served in the Hawaiian Island sugar and export lumber trades, then served as a salmon packer under the Alaska Salmon Co. house flag. After a long career and attempts to save the vessel, which was laid up in San Francisco Bay, the vessel was burned for her metal in 1941.
Mr. Lacalli started building the Emily F Whitney model in 1976 and completed it in about two years. The Model is 1/4" to 1' scale, which gives its main mast an incredible 49" in height. The model is in excellent condition, and presents one of the finest examples of model building skills in the Museum's collection.
The Museum recently received a violin. This is an artifact that would normally be deferred to another museum collection, but in this case the story makes the object. The violin belonged to Tillamook Rock Lighthouse Keeper William Dahlgren. Playing music was Mr. Dahlgren's way of passing the time on his lonely post as keeper of the light.
The third donation to the Museum's collection is from a very contemporary
The Museum's collections continue to grow through the generosity of our donors. The past few months we have seen some exceptional objects added to our collection. A few of these items are featured below. Here are three great reasons to visit the museum again this summer!
COLUMBIA RIVER MARITIME MUSEUM
This model will go on display in our sailing gallery later this summer. It will be worth the trip to see this spectacular model in person.
Readers may contact the curatorial department with possible donations. For more information, call David Pearson .
The ship model, Emily F. Whitney, was the first prize winner for the scratch-built class at the Columbia River Maritime Museum's 7th Annual Ship Model Competition in 1980. Built by Robert Lacalli, who was no stranger to the model competition at the Museum, this was the 4th year in a row he had won honors for his model building skills.
By Spring, work on the program was progressing rapidly. A storyboard was designed and images were selected for use. At the beginning of May a rough draft of the program was presented and critiqued by the project team. Final tweaking of the program continued right up to the premiere.
In October, eight students and their equipment- four computers and two scanners set up shop in the back hall of the Museum and the project was underway. Dave Pearson spent a morning with the students explaining the importance of proper photo handling procedures, documentation, and giving an orientation to the library. A program outline was created and research topics were divided among the team. Two or three mornings each week students, carefully attired in white curatorial gloves, became a common sight walking between the library and their back hall classroom. By Christmas break over 600 images had been scanned into the computers.

Invitations were sent out. The day had come to show off the students' work. Grant McOmie and a film crew arrived to film the premiere. An audience of school board members, students' families and friends, and Museum supporters anxiously awaited the start of the program.
Education
Colorful balloons, sparkling cider, popcorn, cake, and an appreciative audience celebrated the world premiere of In Their Footsteps. Nine months in the making, the program's debut marked the culmination of much hard work and effort on the part of the Museum's Education and Curatorial Departments and Astoria High School.
of speaking time. The final program was to be no more than 20 minutes in length, so serious editing was called for. Help came in the form of a television professional. Project team member Chris Holmstedt had been assigned the task of creating a soundtrack for the project. He enlisted KATU-TV personality Grant McOmie to serve as narrator. Grant spent a morning with the team filming the students at work and providing advice on script writing. Soon the script was under the time limit and Grant returned for his recording session.
In Their Footsteps
As part of their research, oral history candidates were identified, invited to the Museum and interviewed by the students. Their stories of shipwrecks, shanghaiing, and seining would form the basis of the scriptwriting.
As the music and images faded at the end of the program, appreciative and enthusiastic applause filled the Kem Room. The presentation was a resounding success. Coverage of the program and premiere were featured on Portland TV and the project has received much interest in the museum community (see News and Notes). The Museum thanks Scott Holmstedt and the students for all their efforts and talents.

It all began a year ago when Scott Holmstedt, Astoria School District's Technology Director, approached Trish Turner Custard with what he thought was a great idea. High school students would use the latest in computer technology to develop a multi-media presentation the Museum could show its visitors that told Astoria's story through the Museum's artifacts and extensive photo collection. The school district would provide all the equipment, Scott's expertise, and the students. The Museum would provide a space for the students to work, access to the library, and serve as advisors for the project.
After the New Year, work began on the script and soundtrack of the program. The first draft of the script came in at over 45 minutes

President Thomas Jefferson had strict instructions for the pair of explorers at the onset: to find "the most direct and practicable water communication across this continent for the purposes of commerce." To accomplish this, it was critical that careful notation be made oflatitude and longitude of all "remarkable points" between the mouth of the Missouri River and the Pacific Coast.
The same compass used on the expedition is in the collections of the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution.
Quarterdeck, Vol. 25 No 3
This compass is manufactured from mahogany and incorporates a folding hinged cover, brass slit and peep sights, 1" high and a silver plated chapter ring marked in single degrees, 0 to 90 degrees every quarter. The engraved paper compass dial is complete with fleur-de-lis point north and is decorated on seven point directions in block. Signed on the innermost ring is the signature, T. Whitney, Philad. The steel compass needle measures 2" and is crowned with a brass turning. Closing the lid activates the internal brass plunger and paddle locking mechanisms. $ 130.00/117 .00 mem.

Throughout his life, Thomas Jefferson amassed an impressive collection of scientific instruments. This 18X, 3-draw telescope is a museum reproduction of one of the few surviving instruments that belonged to Jefferson. The original, made by Jesse Ramsden, one of the leading instrument makers of the time, is in the collection at Monticello, Jefferson's plantation home, now a museum.
Like the original, the reproduction is made out of mahogany and silver plate over brass. It exhibits a modem five-element magnesium fluoride coated lens assembly for high resolution. An additional lens cover protects the acromatic objective when not in use. The smallest details including the knurls, wood finish, wall finish, and wall thickness of the tubing, have been reproduced with accuracy.
Museum Store
These fine reproductions are entirely made in America by Van Cort Instruments of South Deerfield, Massachusetts. They are the licensed manufacturers for the Smithsonian Institute and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation.
Merriwether Lewis, Jefferson's secretary from 1801 to 1803, was charged with anticipating and acquiring all material requirements for the expedition. Surveying equipment was a top priority, including a sextant and a pocket compass. This he purchased in Philadelphia for$5.00.
The reproductions described below are echoes of a time so exciting in concept and daring in execution that today we still marvel at the men responsible. One item belonged to a man gifted with great foresight and the curiosity of a man of science. The other item guided two courageous captains on a journey of discovery still unparalleled in American history.
