HOWB 031 – News from Pacific NW Maritime Hertiage Council and Other Fun Boat Stuff - 04.19.12

This week’s podcast is a little change of pace. First off, I talk about the Pacific Northwest Maritime Heritage Council meeting that I attended last weekend in Portland, OR. While there, I was able to reconnect with some friends from the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport (Cheers Les!), Dan Leach from Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle (Hi Dan!) and meet some new folks. One of the new wooden boat enthusiasts I met was Caitlin Shrigley – Outreach Manager for the Oregon Maritime Museum. This museum is located on the 1947 sternwheeler Portland (see pics below) on the Willamette River. Caitlin gave us all an awesome tour after the PNWMHC meeting and included in my podcast is a 10 minute interview I did with Caitlin that day.

Also included in this podcast is an interview with Dan Leach from The Center for Wooden Boats with an exciting announcement about the grand opening of their new facility on north Lake Union.
