\u3cem\u3eLaunching through the Surf\u3c/em\u3e Traveling Exhibit Panel 15: Yamhill County Connections

McMinnville and other Yamhill County cities have had a close association with Pacific City and the dory fleet since the late 1800s. Panel 15 is the first of two panels that chronicle the issues and the people who have forged those ties. The panel features vintage photographs from the collections of dory fishers interviewed for the project.https://digitalcommons.linfield.edu/dory_exhibit/1014/thumbnail.jp

\u3cem\u3eLaunching through the Surf\u3c/em\u3e Traveling Exhibit Panel 13: Blessing of the Fleet

Like many fishing communities, the Pacific City dory community honors its fleet, asks for bountiful and safe fishing for the coming season, and remembers those who have died during the year at the annual Blessing of the Fleet. The ceremony is held on the beach the first Saturday in June. In a similar vein, the community celebrates the dories and honors those who made significant contributions to the fleet and the community during the Memorial Wall Ceremony. This observance normally takes place during Dory Days. Panel 13 describes both of these events.https://digitalcommons.linfield.edu/dory_exhibit/1012/thumbnail.jp
