After nearly a year’s efforts,
the Oregon Coast Military
Museum (OCMM) has com-
pleted the expanded display
honoring the United States
Merchant Marines.
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. Email

off the production lines of the
Kaiser Shipyards in Oregon,
for the WWII effort.
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.
