Los Angeles Maritime Museum joins with Australian National Maritime
Museum, California State University Sonoma, Tamchang University Maritime
Museum and Vancouver Maritime Museum to announce formation of the Pan
Pacific Consortium of Maritime Museums (PPCMM).  The Consortium is an
inclusive organization dedicated to sharing of information, research,
exhibitions, publications and resources among Pacific Maritime Museums.
"Pan Pacific" is prefered rather than "Pacific Rim" to insure inclusion
of Pacific Island institutions.  Discussions will take place at the
meetings of the International Conference of Maritime Museums in
Vancouver, Canada, September 14-16, 1994, relative to organizational
matters for PPCMM.  Inquiries, comments and suggestions are welcome at
any time.  Contact via E-mail, Post, Phone or FAX Dr. Pete Lee or Dr.
