Someone once told me that the greatest irony in life is how our sense of time increasingly compresses each year. Finding myself writing my 11 th Annual Director's Report covering our 37th year of Museum activity amazes me. It seems like just yesterday when I began writing my first Director's Report. And it seems like this last year has passed without even experiencing Spring, or for that matter, Summer.

This has been a whirlwind year for fundraising success with our Capital Campaign for the Museum's expansion project. We received a $1,200,000 challenge grant from the Meyer Memorial Trust, an endorsement which represents one of the largest single grants ever given to a non-profit in this part of the state and was exceeded only by the donations of our own board members, who have pledged a total of $1,300,000.

This was a banner year for our public interpretation program. We brought in not just one, but three large sailing ships to dock at the Museum. It has been one of the most productive years ever for outstanding educational achievements, as our programs received both national and international recognition.

This has been a year for a great deal of work behind the scenes. We made trips to Portland each week for meetings with architects, exhibit designers, donors, and corporate leaders. We hosted over 200 meetings in our Kem room in support of many diverse community organizations.

This is the year that the Astoria Trolley came online with the assistance of our staff serving as volunteers on the painting committee; and this is the year that the Astoria Waterfront walkway was extended from the Maritime Museum upriver to the East Mooring Basin.

We also reroofed the first half of the main building without shutting down our operations.

We achieved this by working hand-in-hand with the contractors 24 hours a day for two and a half weeks. This challenging project also resulted in upgrading our thermal insulation and bringing our roof up to current codes for fire safety.

When I review this year in perspective, what really stands out in my mind is that this is the year Board leadership really excelled. The pride and commitment demonstrated on every front has been nothing short of outstanding. I am sure that all of us are proud that we have ended yet another fiscal year solidly in the black. Finally, I want to say that I am very impressed, as I am sure we all are, by the amount of time personally contributed to the Museum by our board president Robley Mangold. His wise counsel and great wisdom has kept us on target.

So perhaps it is fitting that this year went by like a whirlwind, as all of our great progress and success has been accomplished in the blink of an eye.

1999 in Review The highlight of the past summer was the visit to the Museum of three unique sailing ships.

In May the replica Lady Washington stopped at the Museum for a few days as part of her West Coast voyage. In June the USCG Barque Eagle made her first-ever stop in Astoria, Oregon. This special visit to the Columbia River Maritime Museum was an incredible honor. America's world class sailing ship moored for a day at the Museum before continuing upriver to Portland as part of a cadet training cruise. Free deck tours allowed over 3,700 people to walk the teak decks of this magnificent vessel while she was in Astoria.

Perhaps the most daunting aspect was the recruitment and training of the volunteers.

Endeavourrequired three watches of 20 volunteers per watch for each of the nine days she was open to the public. Recruitment notices were placed in The Quarterdeck and in local , papers. 140 brave and intrepid volunteers signed on for the task of serving as Endeavour guides. Training included a three-week lecture series on the life of Jarnes Cook presented by Museum Volunteer Byron Ruppel, Endeavour videos, and an onboard orientation. When all was said and done, over 1,676 volunteer hours were donated to the effort.

Charting a New Course

Dear Friends and Members:

As members and friends of our Museum, you can help with this effort. Your gifts will ensure our success and will help our Museum expand and grow in the coming century.

I invite all of you to 'sign on' as supporters of this exciting project.

1999 has been a year of sea change for our Museum. We have all been busy with the visits of three tall ships, the addition of new traveling education programs, and the cataloging of our Museum Library.

Just as important, our Museum has embarked on a new course, one that will create new exhibits, a new theater, an expanded library and classroom space, a new gift shop, and a stunning new entrance and waterfront plaza. These changes will create a new Museum ready to enter a new millenium with promise and strength.

As you know, our Museum has been working to raise $5,000,000 to support this effort, and our success to date has been impressive. Our board of trustees has contributed over $1,000,000 toward our campaign.

We have passed the $2,800,000 mark, and we are working now to complete the campaign by this coming summer As members and friends of our Museum, you can help with this effort. Your gifts will ensure our success and will help our Museum expand and grow in the coming century. I invite all of you to 'sign on' as supporters of this exciting project.

The Columbia River Maritime Museum thanks the following individuals for their service as trustees and for their loyal dedication to the Museum.

Gifts, grants, and interest payments for this fiscal year were $42,000 and expenditures were $80,000, leaving an ending balance of $46,000. Expenditures for these funds will continue through the next fiscal year as the projects are completed.

Capital Campaign: This fund has been established for a major building renovation and new exhibits with a goal of $5 million. As of September 30, $2,801,000 had been received and pledged for the project.

CRMM Endowment: This endowment was created with funds received from a Charitable Remainder Trust in 1998. The fund had a market value of $181,000 at the beginning of the year, and ended the year with a market value of$182,000. $9,000 of income was used to support the Museum's general operations as specified by the donor.

These funds are managed by Union Bank of California's Trust Department as overseen by the trustees of the Museum.

Museum Income Fund: This fund ' created in 1993 by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, is used to hold the earnings from the Rolf & Alice Klep Charitable Trust, and mirrors that portfolio asset composition.

Marketing and Public Relations With the addition of our full-time Media Relations Manager, Mary Davis, the Marketing and Public Relations Department made a media splash this summer. We started the season with a volunteer marketing distribution ofMuseum information including rack cards, membership brochures, and summer event information.

Approximately 30,000 pieces were placed along the North Coast from the Long Beach peninsula iiiiii;;:::~;:;,::;:===~!'!1111~n to Tillamook.

The department is gaining more support from radio and TV stations. With the visit from three tall ships and the excitement of the capital campaign, the Marketing Department maximizedits media placement.

The media outreach program allows the Museum to place information about Museum events at a minimal cost in a variety of publications and news centers around the Northwest.

This outreach program where we contact individuals in the media increases the effect of our paid advertising.

This summer season alone, the department assisted in the development of more than 85 free newsprint articles worth over $45,000 (the cost to purchase the same amount of publication). This conservative number is only a percentage of the actual articles that ran, and we owe many thanks to our volunteers who clip newspaper articles that highlight the Columbia River Maritime Museum; we couldn't track these statistics without their watchful eyes. The service that they provide saves us thousands of The QuarterDeck, Vol. 25 No. 4

dollars in lieu of paying a professional agency.

The Museum's involvement in the Oregon Tourism Commission's Attractions Group, the Portland Oregon Visitors Association and the Astoria/Warrenton Chamber of Commerce's Lower Columbia Tourism Council gives the ability to participate in cooperative advertising and benefit from networking opportunities.

These partnerships provide the Museum the ability to participate in advertising that otherwise would be cost prohibitive.

We made "house calls" to the media in Portland for the visit from Endeavour, and that launched stories on each of the network news affiliates and news broadcast stations. Although these values are more difficult to track, what this means is... We had some great placement!!

We anticipate continuing our strong media relations as well as building more partnerships to provide the Columbia River Maritime Museum with future success.

This summer season alone, the Department assisted in the development of more than 85 free newsprint articles worth over $45,000.

The Economic Impact of Endeavour to the Astoria Business Community 9,412 people paid to tour Endeavour.

70 % of the visitors were from over 50 miles away as per Endeavour

surveys.

70% of (9,412)= 6,588 people toured from out of town.

The Oregon Tourism Commission reports that on the average, pleasure travelers spend $122 per day for a group of 3.1 people. Thus, $122/ 3.1= $39/per person per day spent. $39 per person x 6588 people= $257,000.

Therefore, Endeavour's economic impact on tourism for the Astoria business community was $257,000.

This program paired local elementary classes with the USCG Cutters Steadfast and Alert. The cutters served as learning laboratories to supplement and enrich classroom education.

Through visits to the cutter and Museum, classroom visits by the crew, "at sea" updates, and a study guide prepared by the Museum, students sharpened their math, science, social studies, and critical-thinking skills. The program came to an exciting end with the classes spending a day aboard their adopted cutters.

Molly Watkins and the Secret of the South Jetty Molly Watkins is a fictional story written and designed by education and curatorial staff. The book serves as a multi-disciplinary curriculum resource for use by 5th and 6th grade teachers and students. The story is about a young girl and the mysterious object she finds while beachcombing. Through Molly's research at the Columbia River Maritime Museum and correspondence with her kindly old Uncle Jasper, a former lighthouse keeper, she discovers what the item is and where it came from. Along the way Molly, and the reader, are introduced to Coast Guard and Northwest maritime history, science, and the role and importance of museums. Over

300 schools throughout the Northwest currently are using this resource in their classrooms. Molly Watkins and the Secret of the South Jetty was made possible through a generous grant from the Rose E. Tucker Charitable Trust.

High School Partners In Their Footsteps has garnered national attention as an example of the use of computer technology in museums and creative collaborations. It was featured in an opening presentation at the 1999 International Conference of Maritime Museums (ICMM) in Philadelphia, PA as an example of partnerships. The Education and Curatorial Departments partnered with Astoria High School in a year-long project that turned the Museum into a classroom. Two or three mornings each week students spent a portion of their school day at the Museum researching, creating, and assembling a multi-media presentation about Astoria's history.Using the latest in computer technology, Museum artifacts and photo collection, the students produced a 20minute program entitled In Their Footsteps.

Shown throughout the summer, the program introduced Museum visitors to the rich stories behind the artifacts.

Lifelong Learning With a commitment to lifelong learning, the Museum presented a series of adult education classes. A five-weekNavigationfor NonMariners class instructed participants on celestial navigation, chart reading, and course plotting. Richard Fencsak reprised his always popular 10-week Columbia River History course. International maritime photographer Thad Koza presented two tall ship slide shows to packed Kem Room audiences.

Coast Guard historian Dennis Noble talked about the life and times of Captain Mike Healy.

Indian storyteller Ed Edmo presented his one man show, Celilo Falls: A Place, A Memory.

FamilyFun New this year is the family-oriented guide to the Museum, Scuttlebutt. The guide includes a discovery tour of the Museum and activities for children to complete at home. Scuttlebutt encourages families to actively explore the Museum together, and has proven to be a great success.

Curatorial This has been an especially busy year for the Museum, and the Curatorial Department was no exception. With all the visiting ships and the great exposure of the Museum in the media, donations continue to rise. This year over 80 artifact collections were accepted into the Museum's archives. This is the largest number of donations since 1995.

Some of the most interesting collections include artifacts from the New Carissa, a spectacular model of the sailing vessel Emily Whitney, which was a first prize winner in the Museum's Annual Ship Model Competition in 1980, and even a full Officer's uniform and awards from a crewman of USS Knapp.

The Library has continued to grow in its use. The completion of the computer cataloging of the Library collection has allowed for a more user friendly library and has made research much more approachable. An entirely new audience has found an interest in the Museum through our web site. This year we received over 100 research questions and donation queries via email. This is a 100% increase from the previous year. The internet has increased our exposure to an international level, with research queries on the Columbia River and the Pacific Northwest arriving from all over the world.

Our librarian, Arline Schmidt, and curatorial volunteers are now re-housing and cataloging the Museum's extensive photo collection. This is a collection of over 10,000 photos that will be made more accessible to researchers while allowing better protection of the photos.

In the past year four new exhibits were displayed at the Museum, both in the Kem Room and the Great Hall. Highlights included a photo show on the building of Endeavour and the very popular exhibit and video presentation of the wreck of the New Carissa. The video follows the story from the first calls made to the floundering ship from the Coos Bay Coast Guard to the final sinking of the forward section by the US Navy. A day does not go by when a crowd is not watching and discussing this exhibit in the Museum's Great Hall.

The Museum now has its own monthly column in The Daily Astorian. The Curator's Comer runs every fourth Thursday in the Coast Weekend section of the paper. We have received much positive feedback from the community and are grateful to The Daily Astorian for this opportunity.

The coming year will present some exciting challenges for the curatorial team as we prepare for the Museum expansion. The collections storage and library will be relocated this winter, to prepare for the expansion project, and then the exhibit design for the Great Hall will begin this coming fall.

the web or CD-ROM. The Columbia River Maritime Museum is taking an active role to preserve and to share its collection of over 2000 negatives and photographs from the Columbia River Packers Association, Bumble Bee Seafood, and Union Fish archives' documented collection. These images from the 1940s and 1950s document all aspects of the salmon fishing business, its workers, boats, and history.

All of these images currently exist only in negative form which are very fragile and difficult to view.

It is amazing in this time of information overload that our recorded images and knowledge of the world actually, in a way, are slowly diminishing. Photographic negatives from the early days of photography are all succumbing to the ravages of time. But now new technology has allowed Museums and Libraries around the world a way to slow this progress, by creating a digital copy of that historic image.

These digital versions are not intended to replace the originals. They serve an important role in helping preserve the original photos by allowing researchers an alternative version to study, plus allow worldwide access to a photograph or document collection through

Each 4" x 5" negative will be captured by a high resolution scanner and entered into a searchable computer database. It is estimated that this will take most of the next two months to accomplish. After the scanning has been completed the next step in the project is to produce a publicly available CD-ROM of the best of this collection. This is the first major step in the Museum's efforts to make our entire collection of photos even more accessible.

• The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded the Museum a $112,500 General Operating Support Grant in September. IMLS is a federal grant-making agency located in Washington, D.C. that fosters leadership, innovation, and a lifetime oflearning by supporting museums and libraries. Museums that qualify for a General Operating Support Grant demonstrate outstanding performance in all areas of museum operations. The Museum received the largest amount of money that is given to any institution for this particular grant program.

• On May 4, 1999, 76 young photographers from six area high schools were sent out to capture the life and character of the ColumbiaPacific community. Supplied with a camera and given only 24 hours, the students' goal was to tell the story of the region - its people, economy, recreation, and environment-through pictures.

26 of the photos captured that day are on display in the Kem Room as the exhibit, "A Day In The Life." The program was developed and coordinated by Jon Graves, PSU Community Outreach at MERTS and Ed Hunt, editor at tidepool.org. The exhibit will run through December 10th • • A capacity crowd filled the Kem Room September 11 th to see Ed Edmo' s one man show, Celilo Falls: A Place, A Memory. Ed portrayed a Columbia River Indian fisherman remembering Celilo Falls and the upheaval caused by the building of the Dalles Dam. The performance was co-sponsored by the Center for Columbia River History as a part of their Castles Lecture series.

• Sealore: Seafarers, Sirens, and Serpents will be the topic of the program to be presented February 26th at 2:00 in the Kem Room. FolkloristTwilo Scofield will present an eclectic collection of sea lore from ancient legends to tall tales to the beliefs of modem day sailors and fishermen. The program is sponsored by a grant from the Oregon Council of the Humanities.

(www.crmm.org) is Scuttlebutt's Maritime Museum Mystery Tour. This interactive story allows young readers to solve mysteries while going on a virtual tour of the Museum.

• Thanks to a grant from Trust Management Services, LLC the Museum has begun the Footsteps Oral History Program. Eight ninthgrade students are spending their study hall class period this semester collecting oral histories of community members. Each student selected a lower Columbia River history topic that interested them, did research on the topic, and with the help of Museum volunteers serving as mentors, selected people to interview. So far 20 oral histories have been collected covering the subjects of bar pilots, Coast Guard, Astoria during World War II, canneries, horse seining, and the building of the Astoria-Megler Bridge.

The students will combine the histories with photos from the Museum's archives to create web-pages. Read more about this in the next Quarterdeck.

• When members, friends, supporters and trustees of the Columbia River Maritime Museum met at the Seaside Convention Center for this year's annual membership meeting and banquet, they were greeted with a first-hand glimpse of the Museum's planned renovations and improvements. Exhibit designs as well as architectural models and drawings were on display. The engaging dinner featured guest speaker Bill Milwee, a member of the Unified Command for the New Carissa casualty. As the Responsible Party's On-Scene Coordinator for the New Carissa salvage operation, Mr. Milwee gave an in depth analysis of the predicaments and peril associated with the modem-day shipwreck.
