Port Orford Lifeboat Station Museum

Coast Guard Lifeboat Museum

This narrated video presents an overview of the Coast Guard Lifeboat Station Museum located in Port Orford Oregon. The museum is surrounded by Heads State Park which has three trails which pass through forested areas and along panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Agate Beach, Cape Blanco and Lake Garrison.

We take this walk every morning at 5:30 A.M. The trail head is a short walk from our front door and the dogs simply think that it's an extension of the yard. Every morning they wait patiently for the 'break' that frees them to wander the trails. Next to the beach, this is their favorite spot in the world - and mine too.

From 1934 into the 1960s U.S. Coast Guard surfmen lived here, ever alert for ships in distress. When a call came they risked their lives to save others. See the 36-foot self-righting motor lifeboat number 36498 on the grounds. Visit the museum in the former barracks/office building. Four other historic buildings also remain at this 101.29-acre site. This is the only Forge River-type station left on the West Coast.

If you are interested in seeing more of Cape Blanco Lighthouse, The Hughes House or the park and Coast Guard Museum, Ken's complete (albeit dogless) videos are posted on the Heritage Societies webpage linked below.

American Theater (World War II)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The American Theater describes a series of mostly minor areas of operations during World War II. This was mainly due to both North and South America's geographical separation from the central theaters of conflict in Europe and the Pacific. Thus, any full-scale threat by the Axis Powers to invade the continental United States or other areas was considered negligible, allowing for American resources to be deployed in overseas theaters.
This article includes attacks on continental territory, extending 200 miles (320 km) into the ocean, which is today under the sovereignty of Canada, the United States, Mexico, and several other smaller states. The best known events in North America during World War II were the Aleutian Islands Campaign, the Battle of the St. Lawrence, and the attacks on Newfoundland.
