Of the effort, past President Tim Sapp said, “This effort really started with two different supporters approaching the museum over a year ago with concerns about the lack of understanding of the role of the Merchant Marines in their heroic efforts during WWII.” The Estate of Muriel Rothwell, whose husband ‘Rocky’ was a WWII Merchant Mariner, wanted to leave a sizeable monetary donation to the museum, provided it did more to clarify that role, according to Sapp. “The American Merchant Marine Veterans organization here in Oregon also approached us with the same concern,” said Sapp. “They then provided significant mate- rial to help us understand that role, and develop a display to address it.” Deadlines for press releases are Mondays and Thursdays by noon.

In addition to the breath-tak- ing backdrop and large ship model, the display includes information binders on other significant impacts on Oregon from the U.S. Merchant Marine efforts, such as the herculean effort to build Liberty Ships in Portland and the creation of Vanport City. Another information binder includes the names of 79 Oregonians who served in the United States Merchant Marines who gave their lives in the service of their country, as well as the six who were interned as POW’s during the war. These names were provid- ed by the Oregon chapter of the American Merchant Marine Veterans. Chief of Staff Geoff Cannon added, “This display has come a long way in helping us serve our mission to educate the pub- lic about this specific aspect of World War II. It really empha- sizes that our Museum does cover all disciplines of military heritage.” The Museum is located at 2145 Kingwood St. in Florence, and open to the pub- lic Thursday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. You can learn more by visit- ing the website at www.oregon coastmilitarymuseum.com.
