Sailors and Shores: Oregon’s Naval Heritage

Explore Oregon’s rich naval heritage!

Oregon’s connection to the Navy dates back to the 1840s, when explorers arrived by sea. A century later, during World War II, Oregon’s coastline became a critical defense point and home to numerous naval installations. And even Salem itself, while not a coastal city, has a fascinating naval history. Join Megan Churchwell, curator of the Puget Sound Navy Museum in Bremerton WA, to discover the pivotal events of Oregon’s naval heritage and the remarkable individuals who have helped shape it.
