SUMMARY:The Early Voyages of the USS Shark - Thursday\, May 14 at 4pm
DESCRIPTION:The Cannon Beach History Center and Museum welcomes back Robert
  Bailey on Thursday\, May 14 at 4:00 p.m. for a lecture exploring the earl
 y years of the USS Shark\, a vessel closely connected to the history of th
 e Oregon Coast.\n\nFollowing last year’s fascinating talk that uncovered
  new clues about the USS Shark’s final days\, Robert Bailey returns with
  a fresh perspective\, this time exploring the ship’s earliest chapter. 
 His presentation will trace the first years of service of the USS Shark\, 
 from its launch on May 17\, 1821 through its assignments in the Caribbean\
 , Coast of Africa and the Mediterranean and eventually to the Pacific\, le
 ading up to its historic and ultimately ill-fated voyage to the Columbia R
 iver in 1846 and the attempts by the US Navy to contact the USS Shark duri
 ng the California Bear Flag Revolt.\n\nThrough this deeper look at the ves
 sel’s origins and early missions\, attendees will gain a richer understa
 nding of the USS Shark’s place in 19th century naval exploration and its
  lasting connection to the Oregon Coast.\n\nRobert Bailey is a civil engin
 eer based in San Francisco with a lifelong passion for history and preserv
 ation. Bailey is a graduate of the University of California\, Berkeley\, a
 nd he holds degrees in Civil Engineering and Structural Engineering. His c
 areer has included international work with the Peace Corps in Nepal\, as w
 ell as major seismic evaluation and preservation projects\, including San 
 Francisco City Hall and the Old San Francisco Mint.\n\nSince retiring from
  full time practice in 2018\, he has dedicated his time to researching and
  sharing compelling stories from the past. His engaging presentations brin
 g history to life and connect audiences with stories that continue to shap
 e our understanding of the Oregon Coast and beyond.\n\nThis event is free 
 and open to the public and is part of the museum’s annual lecture series
 . The program is generously sponsored by Sea Breeze Court of Cannon Beach\
 , Oregon.\n\nThe Cannon Beach History Center and Museum is located at 1387
