Introduction
Astoria, located an hour and a half away from Portland, is the mouth of the Columbia River. The area is surrounded by mountains, rocky reefs, and frequent fog. Over the course of 300 years, more than 200 ships have sunk in these waters, earning it the nickname "the graveyard of the Pacific." The complexity of the water conditions makes it impossible to build a traditional lighthouse, so a light ship is used instead, which is a ship anchored in the sea with a powerful light. The museum houses a model ship in the midst of turbulent waves, about to sink.
