Columbia River Maritime Museum is at 1792 Marine Dr. The museum tells the dramatic and inspiring stories of a mighty river, a vast ocean and the generations of people who have made their living plying the waters of the region. It is home to one of the largest collections of maritime artifacts in the Pacific Northwest (more than 40,000), as well as a 10,000-volume research library and some 20,000 photographs. In addition to permanent and rotating exhibits, the campus includes a lightship, a 3D movie theater, a gift shop and the Barbey Maritime Center.
