A snapshot of a family jumping rope at Nye Beach in 1918. From the the Lincoln County Historical Society archives.

You’re Invited! Opening reception at the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center on Friday, September 17, 2021

A postcard featuring a photograph of the United State's Lifesaving Service training exercise in Yaquina Bay in the 1910s. The message written by Joseph Briggs on the reverse reads: "Righting herself. This boat rights herself and bails herself in about 10 seconds we have turned her 5 times in one minute"

An early morning view of Depoe Bay was taken by photographer Ray Atkeson (1907 –1990) in 1938. Atkeson was best known for his landscape images, particularly of Oregon and the American West. This image was sold by Atkenson to the Oregonian newspaper. His photographs captured 1930s fishing vessels recently adapted to use gasoline engines.
