| The Maritime Museum in Astoria, OR is a wonderful museum. The background and and people in this photo aren't real, but the ship is an actual coast guard ship. |

| There were once a number of canneries in Astoria and they canned a LOT of salmon. All the salmon was the same, but there was a wide variety of labels stuck on the cans. |
