Life-Saving on the West Coast
Newport, Oregon - September 28th to October 1st 2011
The U.S. Life-Saving Service Heritage Association was held in Newport, Oregon for its 15th annual conference. All members of the association and those interested in the history of the U.S. Life-Saving Service and the U.S. Coast Guard were invited to attend. We were based on Newport’s working waterfront, anchoring the east end with the Yaquina Bay Coast Guard Station at the west end. The town has a population of about 10,000, a small, maritime community clustered around Yaquina Bay. NOAA has just made Newport their Pacific home port, so the south side of the bay has been a hub of activity getting ready for their opening in May. Oregon State University runs a large marine science center on the bay. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is also on the bay, considered one of the top ten aquariums in North America.
The Oregon Coast History Center’s Pacific Maritime Heritage Center was the base of operations for the conference. The principal hotels were The Embarcadero and The Landing, a pleasant stroll of about 2000 feet along the marina from the Heritage Center. Below is a general schedule of events.
From September 28-October 1, 2011, USLSSHA descended on Newport, Oregon, for the 15th Meeting of the organization. The itinerary was as follows:
