Exploring Maritime Washington Book Signing @ The Museum of the North Beach
Aug 12 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Exploring Maritime Washington Book Signing @ The Museum of the North Beach

The Museum of the North Beach will be hosting a book signing on Saturday, August 12 from 10am to 12 noon for Exploring Maritime Washington by author Erich Ebel.

Discover the popular destinations and hidden gems along Washington’s coastline, from the Mukilteo Lighthouse to the Wedding Rocks petroglyphs and beyond. Learn about the seafaring Coast Salish people, who navigated the waters of the Pacific Northwest for thousands of years, and the early exploration and settlement by European Americans in the late eighteenth century. Delve into the expansion and growth that led to the development of international ports and the modern maritime economy. View the enormous sternwheel snagboat W.T. Preston—one of a trio that kept inland waterways navigable for nearly a century—and hundreds of other fascinating sites. Join author Erich R. Ebel on a journey through the cultural and nautical history of the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area and beyond.

Erich R. Ebel was born in Spokane, Washington, and has had stories to tell ever since. During his ten years as a TV and radio journalist and twenty in communications and marketing, Erich pursued his passions—the history, heritage and culture of the greatest state in the Lower 48. His blog, videos and podcasts hold a treasure-trove of Washington facts and help promote local history worldwide. Learn more at www.washingtonourhome.com.

Erich spent several hours at the Museum of the North Beach in April 2021 doing research.  His 222 page book sells for $24.00 and is loaded with photographs including a segment about the Museum, some of our local history and the amazing story of the 1892 shipwreck of the British bark Ferndale at Copalis Beach.

Showing of the 1974 John Wayne Movie “McQ” @ 7th Street Theater
May 4 @ 7:30 pm
Showing of the 1974 John Wayne Movie "McQ" @ 7th Street Theater

The 1974 John Wayne movie “McQ” will be shown on May 4th  & 5th at the magnificent 7th Street Theatre in Hoquiam, co-hosted by the Museum of the North Beach.

“McQ” was released fifty years ago on January 1, 1974. This action-packed crime drama was filmed on location in Seattle, Aberdeen, Pacific Beach, Pt. Grenville and Moclips.

A car chase involving three vehicles begins on the beach at Analyde Gap between Pacific Beach and Moclips.  A car rollover stunt using the “McQ Cannon” was the first time in cinema history an explosive device was used to flip a car over. A 1973 Chevrolet Impala rolled over five times and landed perfectly on its wheels.

This special showing is a fundraiser.  There will be a raffle for a scarce “McQ” coffee mug with John Wayne’s imprinted signature on the reverse side (winning ticket will be drawn on Saturday August 31).  Several copies of the 2007 DVD (with a special 8 minute featurette) will be available for sale.

The 7th Street Theatre will be showing the film on Saturday, May 4th at 7:30pm and again on Sunday, May 5th at 2pm.  Admission is $6.00.  Don’t miss your chance to see this film on the big screen!
