The family and I attended the annual Maritime Festival yesterday in St. Helen's Oregon.

I will split the pictures up in to several pages so members with slower speed connections do not get too bogged down!!

One of my boat club fellow steamers was there and we toured many great old wood hull boats.Only one steam boat ( the 1948 paddle tug "Portland" which house the maritime museum and inside it was a exquisite model of a triple expansion engine.

But there were so many fun classic runabouts and classic yachts it was fun to wander and roam and dream. Also a small sloop was there manned by "pirates" and the only functioning PT boat I believe in existence.

enjoy

The first round:
