History & Hops – Graveyard of The Pacific

History & Hops is a series of local history discussions hosted by the Seaside Museum on the last Thursday of each month, September through May, at Seaside Brewing Co. The event is free to attend, and everyone is welcome to join in the fun!

GRAVEYARD OF THE PACIFIC

Part maritime history, part memoir, Randall Sullivan's Graveyard of the Pacific plunges into the terrifying waters of the Columbia River Bar, the notorious spot where thousands of ships have been wrecked. Sullivan combines intense research on these historical tragedies with a personal narrative of his own attempt to cross the bar, facing the same deadly currents that defined the lives—and deaths—of countless sailors. Randall’s presentation will focus on how he came to live on the Oregon Coast and his writing process of his thrilling book.
