Well, if you are going that way, there's also the excellent Maritime Museum
at Astoria.  And if you pause at Garibaldi, in Tillamook Bay, you can check
out the little local history museum there.  When Lady Washington stopped
there on a Maritime Bicentennial tour in 1992, we on the crew were all
amazed when the museum staff showed us a cannonball the Army Corps of
Engineers had dredged up when they built the jetty and harbor entrance.  The
locals all believed--and we believed them--that it was fired by Captain
Robert Gray from the original Lady Washington in the incident which caused
him to name that peaceful place "Murderer's Harbor."
