columbia river maritime museum

这是Columbia River Maritime Museum，也算是整个Astoria最大的博物馆展厅了吧，成人12刀，6岁以下儿童免费，另外这里还有一个3D电影，以鲨鱼的主视角讲述了海洋生态，片长40分钟，宣扬的还是一种保护生态的环保思想，说道生态环保最直接的无非就是减少人类的干涉与生态介入及寻求有续发展。。。每人5刀，儿童免费，但没有3D眼镜。制作中规中矩吧，更多的是一种对环保的支持，电影每个整点播放。 这里曾是重要的渔港，也是二战时重要的补给港之一，但是这里的航海气候却一直变化莫测，让人难以捉摸，从古至今都有无以计数的船只失踪事件，名声上不如百慕大响亮，但实际数据却令人惊叹，入口处就有工作人员在做一定的讲解大展厅放了好多船，从17世纪的帆船一直到后来的蒸汽船。。。都是这片海域每个时代最具代表性的船模还有个船长室模拟器，小孩子们的最爱 内馆依旧用了各种小型船模来叙述各段历史早些年这里的渔业极其发达,各种包装出口的鱼类,尤其以罐头装居多老式蒸汽船操舵模拟器，不一样的体验还展示了各种动物毛皮，有海豹，棕熊，黑熊等等，摸了摸手感不灵，毛质很粗很硬，并不十分舒服，可能借此宣导大家不要一味追求动物毛皮吧 3D影院就在入口附近，提前10分钟开门，场地不大，但人也不多，满座大约也只能坐30来人左右吧，不过3D眼镜还是很给力的出口必经的礼品店我们出来时已过了中午12点，但看到还有游客参加船上的岸上团刚刚抵达博物馆。博物馆门口刚好有个小火车站点，我们原本是计划搭Trolley回港的，但等了将近半个小时都毫不见踪迹，算了，别耽误时间了，还是搭巴士早点回船用膳吧至于邮局就在市中心班车下车处附近，但周末全天打烊，如果要寄明信片的话可以去书店或博物馆购买后再去加油站买邮票。才发现这一段市区路限速是20英里，目测超速的一大堆。。。 15分钟到港后，正值一天中最热的时候，烈日高照，赶紧上船吹空调了，Elaine也抱怨说要晒死了这也是Regatta上最后一个没雨的好天气，虽说大家都知道阿拉斯加向来以变幻无常的天气闻名于世，因此也不期待能天天阳光灿烂，但至少不至于每天阴雨吧，要知道历年来5月阿拉斯加的降雨量都远低于8，9月，哎，这人品啊！

The exhibits and history are excellent. Wish we had more time to watch the movies but what we were able to view was interesting. This is a place that you should go out of your way to visit.

This is an amazing place to visit The displays are great for the area The coast guard rescue boat is worth the visit you can get up close and personal. A nice place take some time or you will miss something

Great museum covering unusual topics like river and bar pilots as well as history of the area. Lots of information about the Coast Guard.

Visiting Astoria, Ore., must include a stop at the Columbia River Maritime Museum. A long stop! Regardless of your level of interest in history, this museum has something for everyone. There is great information on the overall history of the area relative to its waterways, including the fishing industry, immigrant contributions to the area, the Coast Guard and military history. I was particularly interested in the WWII section - great info on the Japanese attacks and the role Oregon played in the Pacific theatre during the war. Allow enough time to read the exhibits and enjoy the boat replicas. YYou won't be disappointed

I liked visiting here the museum Is beautifully set up clean modern ..my favorite part would have been the 3d movie they offer for an additional fee to the entrance fee. One of the best 3d films I've watched and while explaining a lot of information does it in an attractive and entertaining way. Also highly liked the tour of the light boat outside

Even if you are not into boats and maritime themes, go to this museum. We lost track of time there, very interesting history of "the bar" also known as the grave yard of the pacific. Also lots of the Coast Guard training that is near by to rescue people who get caught here. The mighty Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean and at times waves of 30'+ and 60 knot winds. A small group of elite bar pilots get the boats safety in and out. A very modern and informative place.

spend some time here and don't rush.very informative about the area and the river.I never realized how important the USCG is and how dangerous the job can be.

The museum is highly focused on the rich local maritime heritage of the area, with many exhibits that are somewhat unique. The museum is much larger than I had anticipated, and my wife and I spent about 3 1/2 hours at the museum. We toured the museum on Saturday, February 21 and were told that the lighthouse ship tours end at noon. We were early, and am glad that we were able to tour the ship (I had never heard of a lighthouse ship). Travelers should confirm that that the ship tours are available.

Great place to learn the history of the area. Lots of interesting exhibits. Great location. You can even tour the ship outside.

We really enjoyed our visit to the museum, including the Lightship. Very well done for old and young alike. Had a good representation of historic maritime information right on up to current information. The boats on display also gave a good representation of what life on the ocean is like. Five Star!

This was a fascinating and well-put-together museum. We spent over three hours here, and probably could've stayed longer!

I took two young boy children to this museum. One aged five, the other aged ten. We stayed for a few hours and there was no wining about being bored and all that stuff. We also did the submarine and it was awesome. The boys got to sit at the controls. We also got to see the living quarters and hear about life on a sub. It was fascinating. We will visit again.

Who knew that one of the most dangerous travel routes for ships was where the Columbia River enters the ocean? This museum did a good job of telling about "the bar" and the many ships and souls lost. The lightship tour was nice too. I love history and my husband is former Navy, so it was fun for us both!
