On May 11, 2002, the vision and dreams of many that have served before me became a reality.

Not only was the Museum celebrating its 40 th Anniversary since its founding

by RolfKlep, but, how fitting to celebr~te this milestone with the Grand Re-Opemng of the New Columbia River Maritime Museum! The expansion of the Museum with its new exhibits, the wonderful spaciousness of the book store a~d r~search library, the great introduct10n·m the theater, and the classic experience of existing collections against the visual backdrop of the Columbia River all come together for an exhilarating experience.

One of the great strengths of the Museum lies in the continuity of vision and personal commitment of its Board of Trustees, both current and over the past 40 years. It was interesting to note the . early vision of past President Peter J. Bnx as stated in the Twenty-five Year Anniversary Report from 1987. An excerpt reads, "Foremost among our goals is to broaden the scope of the Museum's activities. We will add new exhibits, demonstrations, and interpretation to help fulfill our larger mission of relating our maritime heritage to the widest possible audience."

We are grateful to Rob Mangold's leadership through the arduous task of the $5 million dollar Capital Campaign and to the trustees, staff, foundations, members, volunteers and public entities that believed in the Museum and gave so generously to make our vision a reality. This project seemed to happen flawlessly because Jerry Ostermiller, Executive Director and his

to our expectation. I know they put m long, stressful days, month after month, to completion. The reward for all came on May 11 th as we watched in awe as 6,700 visitors attended the Grand Re-Opening weekend. The smiles on their faces and the wonderful comments confirmed the success of this project.

The Museum is on a new course! I look forward to opportunities afforded us to enhance our storage facilities and future development of the Depot. More important are opportunities for professional staff development and the visibility their associations will bring to the Museum. I am very pleased that Jerry Ostermiller has been elected to serve as the president of the Council of American Maritime Museums. This is a national organization and they will hold one of their meetings at the Columbia River Maritime Museum. Congratulations Jerry!

In a recent summary report on the completion of the expansion, Jerry .

Ostermiller said it best. "As we enter this new visitor season, the Columbia River Maritime Museum has a completed and expanded campus, ne\YlY remodeled facilities, outstanding state of the art exhi~its, a large new storage facility, renewed vigor for the staff and trustees, and a strong vision for our future. With modest over.head, no debt of any kind, a respectable endowment that is growing, good cash flows from our operations, the CHARTING A NEW COURSE project has been a most remarkable and positive experience for this special institution, The Museum of the Great River of the West."

In this issue of the Quarterdeck the Museum is proud to feature the writings of accomplished historian Dr. Dennis Noble for our feature story. Dr. Noble was part of the planning team for the Coast Guard exhibit as an advisor and also followed the efforts made by the Coast Guard crews to help restore the motor lifeboat 44300 to her original glory.

Taking on such a daunting project were the tireless crews ofStation Tillamook Bay and the National Motor Lifeboat School.

As the project progressed interest continued to build throughout the Coast Guard and eventually caught the eyes of Retired Vice Admiral Howard Thorsen, Chairman of the Foundation for Coast Guard History. We are proud to announce that the commanders of both Station Tillamook Bay and the National Motor Lifeboat School were awarded the Special Appreciation Award from the Foundation for Coast Guard History. The awards were presented at the Museum in front of the motor lifeboat display.

The Restoration of ·u. S. Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat 44300

by Dennis L. Noble Framed in the Columbia River Maritime Museum's new large bay window facing Marine Drive is the former U. S. Coast Guard 44-foot motor lifeboat, the 44300. 1 The motor lifeboat is the focal point of an enhanced display of the U.S. Coast Guard on the Columbia River. The exhibit features the motor lifeboat as it would look crashing through high waves. A very brief history of the CG 44300 will show that it is appropriate that this particular boat be in the Museum.

The QuarterDeck, Vol. 28 No. 1-2

The 44-foot class of motor lifeboat was built in the U.S. Coast Guard Yard, Curtis Bay, Maryland. It marked a change from the former 36-foot wooden motor lifeboat, in that the new boat would be made of corten steel. The boat, like its predecessor, was self-bailing and selfrighting. (Even though the boat is selfrighting, that does not mean people can not be injured during a roll over.)

The prototype, CG 44300, was delivered to the West Coast in 1961. Chief Boatswain's Mate Giles Vanderhoof received orders to test the new lifeboat.

Vanderhoof and his crew stuck the prototype into heavy seas of the Pacific Northwest. "Heavy seas" is a classic surfman's understatement. Vanderhoof and his crew pushed out into 35-foot seas. Every day the Chief and his crew went into the surf.

He ran bow into the waves; he then turned the stem to the seas and let the motor lifeboat be hurled by the strength of the seas. Vanderhoof deliberately broached (turned the boat sideways to the waves), an almost fatal maneuver for boats and waited for the crash. Afterwards, he brought CG 44300 back to the engineers and welders so they could repair it.

Vanderhoof also picked shards of glass out of his wet suit.

Every night the engineers would put stronger and stronger glass into the windshield and every night Chief Vanderhoof brought back shattered glass from the green seas. At the end of five days, the main cabin was crushed and holed, the aft cabin was smashed, the screws (propellers) and struts had been tom loose from the hull, the engine mounts had given way, and both engines were lying.askew in an engine room smeared with oil. But CG 44300 was still afloat.

How dependable was the 44-foot motor lifeboat? By 1995, CG 44300 had rolled over six times, pitchpoled (gone

Chief Gagnon pointed out that with the "transition to the 4 7-foot motor lifeboats, which requires almost no painting, the art of making a 44footer gleam is being lost. [The Master Chief and I] have enjoyed showing the crew members the dying art of making a highmaintenance boat something to be proud of." 3 The crews of the U. S. Coast Guard's small boat stations put in long duty hours.

The fact that they would willingly volunteer to work on maintaining a boat on their off duty time speaks volumes about how they feel about their profession. · When asked why a veteran oftwentythree years of service would volunteer to do the dirty work of sanding and painting the CG 44300, Master Chief Kent replied, "I have fond memories of battling the seas The QuarterDeck, Vol. 28 No. 1-2

Both Master Chief Kent and Chief Gagnon sanded the boat. Then everyone began the painting. Boat owners, and veterans of the U. S. Coast Guard and U. S. Navy, may have expected to see Kent and Gagnon swinging a brush full of paint.

Instead, they used a small roller. Both commented that the small roller makes it "easier to control the amount of paint being applied and that helps prevent runs and sags." Veterans, however, will be pleased to know that the roller applied paint is followed "lightly with a brush in an attempt to get the best gloss out of the paint and make the boat look its best."

Colors used on the boat are: for the hull, international high gloss white; for the decks, gun metal gray; for the U.S. Coast Guard stripe on the bows, Coast Guard

Red and Coast Guard Blue; for the bits (used to tie up and tow) and deck fittings, spar; the fire fighting riser, fire engine red; for the fueling fittings, yellow; and for the navigational light screens, flat black. The boot topping is a gloss black and the underwater body is bilge red. The paint normally used for the underwater body is toxic, so for the exhibit the crew used a house paint.

Visitors to the exhibit will notice the deck areas of the boat have a grainy appearance. Master Chief Kent said, "The deck areas are coated with non-skid.

Simply put, the decks are rolled out with an epoxy primer, and while the paint is still wet, we coat the area.with sand and allow the paint to dry. Once dry, we sweep off the loose sand and then roll a coat of gray over the remaining sand to seal it in._ This ' is done to produce a non-slip surface to walk on to prevent us from slipping off the boat in rough weather."

Both Master Chief Kent and Chief Gagnon said the most difficult job was "trying to work on a surface that was set at a 30 degree pitch and a 30 degree roll.

Trying to hang on, hold the paint tray and paint all at the same time was a trick."

In addition to painting the motor lifeboat, the Tillamook Bay station crew worked on reconditioning the brass work. This the crew "bead blasted," then polished up the areas that were normally polished. The U.S. Coast Guard volunteers from the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Steadfast (WMEC-623), which moors by the Museum, also repaired damage to the stanchions (the metal pole-like devices that the lifelines pass through) and lifelines. The crew also remounted the electronic gear, replaced the grab lines-the lines along the side of the lifeboat that survivors in the water can grab onto-replaced damaged rub rails, replaced the decals, replaced dogs-the handles that close the water tight hatches (doors) on the lifeboat- and

"just overall maintenance that we did in all the boats over their forty year history."

The visitor to the exhibit who thinks that a working 44-foot motor lifeboat would be beat-up and never be this sparkling clean would be mistaken. As Master Chief Kent said, "We took a lot of pride in our motor lifeboats. Once a year we hauled them out for a yard period where we repainted them and did any necessary maintenance. In addition, we constantly touched them up and maintained them."

The author spent a few years painting a motor lifeboat, plus during the past six years traveled to stations throughout the United States, with the majority of time in the Pacific Northwest, and can attest to just how well the crews kept the craft. In the Pacific Northwest, for example, each time a 44-foot motor lifeboat returned from any type of underway tirrie, the first things boat crews did was refuel and then scrub the boat down. This kept the boats clean and helped in holding back rust from sea water.

Station crews wanted visitors to see their boats and took an immeasurable pride in them. The only dirty location you would ever find on a boat th<;tt had just come in from being underway was a dark area near the exhaust. This, too, would soon be scrubbed away. The CG 44300 will be a . perfect example of a 44-foot motor lifeboat from a station that has pride in their boats.

When Master Chief Kent was asked what . he would like visitors to learn from this exhibit, he replied, "What a noble, worthy servant the old girl was. I also hope people think of the men and women who served on them. Perhaps people will see what it must have been like to be out all night in a storm on this craft, only partially protected from the weather and battling the cold, being wet from the rain and the surf and the spray, the winds hitting the motor lifeboat and making it shake and the crew, with all this, trying to fight back sleep."

saved 4,200 lives. Of this total, the small boat rescue stations throughout the United States saved 2,341 people, which was 55.7% of all the people rescued by the service. In the same year, the U. S. Coast Guard saved property valued at $72,978,277 and of this large amount the small boat stations were responsible for saving $66,511,870, or 91.1 % of all the property saved by the U.S. Coast Guard. 4 Yet all too often the men and women who serve at the U.S. Coast Guard's small boat rescue stations are forgotten by the people they serve. The work of the Columbia River Maritime Museum, along with the restoration work of the CG 44300 by Master Chief Lars B. Kent, Chief Jon W. Gagnon and the crew of the Tillamook Bay Station, will ensure that the work of the brave men and women who go out into storms so that others might live will be better known.

achievement for any museum."

Since the opening in May, the Museum has seen remarkable growth in our visitor attendance, an average of 6 new Museum memberships a week, and regular media visits, as word spreads of the innovative new exhibits. The Museum has hosted a production crew from National Geographic, numerous newspapers from across the Northwest, and Portland TV and radio stations, all to great reviews.

One of the most exciting improvements will be the ability to host our own Annual Meeting at the Museum. With meeting space overlooking the Columbia River, few locations could be better suited.

The Annual Meeting this fall will be the first in over a decade to be held at the Museum, and promises to be a special evening. We will let all our members know when the final date has been selected.

Some of the work remains to be completed, notably the landscaping and parking lot improvements, which are being held up until the Oregon Department of Transportation completes its planned work on Marine Drive, directly in front of the Museum. The river walkway will be completed this July, and the Museum is undergoing a complete power washing this. summer. But as Jerry Ostermiller explained to the crowd at t.hc opening "The completion of the new addition is the end of one phase and the beginning of a new phase.

Our hope is the Museum will never be completed."

Education Enriching lives by inspiring interest in maritime history and culture involving the Columbia River is the Museum's core purpose. Our education programs have certainly succeeded in inspiring young people this past school year. The "Museum in the Schools" outreach program, sponsored by a generous grant from US Bank, continues to expand. A contribution from Foss Maritime allows us to visit schools one additional day each week. This successful program now serves schools in five counties in Oregon and Washington and is offered free to teachers requesting the programs. By the end of the 2001-2002 school year, over 6,500 students participated in this hands-on approach to s~ience topics and the history and culture of the Columbia River.

A new Museum-In-A-Trunk was developed last summer and tested by 313 students this year. The teachers requesting the "Lighthouses" trunk were enthusiastic about its contents. The trunk contains information about lighthouses in general as well as specific information on Oregon lighthouses. Teachers can choose from a variety of lessons and experiments that are included in the curriculum.

Lightship Columbia, a new program, was offered to teachers this year who wanted an interactive, hands-on program at the Museum. Funded by a grant from Trust Management Services, LLC. it covers the history oflightships and incorporates learning stations on board the lightship. The small group sizes provide a unique learning experience for the students using Museum staff and volunteers to run the stations. The children have a chance to raise signal flags, sound or measure the depth of the river, gather weather data, spell their name in Morse code, and make rope .

This was the second year that the Museum hosted a district National History Day The QuarterDeck, Vol. 28 No. 1-2

competition. Sixth, seventh and eighth grade students participated from Scappoose Middle School, Star of the Sea and Astoria Middle School. It was exciting to see the interest that these students had in history and the amount of research and work that went into their projects. The video club at Astoria Middle School created a fantastic documentary on the Astoria Fire. This group of students went on to represent our district at the state competition in Salem and won second place in their division. Because of their placement at that competition they then traveled to Maryland in June to participate in the national contest of National History Day.

Through funding that we received from US Bank, we are able to extend our educa~ tion programs for children and families.

This summer we are offering a summer day camp, as well as family programs. The oneweek camp sessions are full of hands-on activities and exploration walks. Highlights from the camp are simulating a rescue in a 20-person life raft, touring a fish market and sampling the different seafood, and taking a jet boat ride.

The Grand Re-Opening of the Columbia River Maritime Museum in May was a complete success for everyone. The Museum, its staff and of course our membership are enjoying the fruits of our long labors and their generous donations.

As Manager of the Columbia River Maritime Museum Store I am filled with genuine pride by the countless compliments given on a daily basis by our new and returning visitors. I have worked at the Museum for 20 years and have heard many good things from people over the years; however, nothing prepared me for the overwhelmingly positive feedback about the new expansion. A prominent part of the expansion includes a beautiful new Museum Store that has our visitors slaying longer and shopping more. The wrap around windows in the Store avail the shoppers of a spectacular view of the Columbia River making shopping a pure pleasure.

We have stocked the new store with many new book titles in a wide range of

maritime subjects. We now carry a new line of outerwear fleece that in our unseasonably cold spring and summer is selling very well. The selection of maritime videos has expanded tremendously and samples may be viewed on our new big screen TV. There are many new items carrying our Museum logo, for example, we have a beautiful new champagne glass, a newly designed double old-fashioned glass, a new coffee mug, and a nice selection of branded impulse items for children. The Store also boasts a very nice selection of scrimshaw items done on fossil ivories and bone, fancy brasswear for your boat and maritime thematic jewelry. If you are looking for a special gift this is where you can find it and as members of the Columbia River Maritime Museum you also' enjoy a 10% discount on all merchandise. We are always happy to meet our members and would be happy to show off the Store to you.
