Author to speak at maritime exhibit

As part of the "Rolling on the River" maritime exhibit at the River Life Interpretive Center at Redmen Hall in Skamokawa, Peter Brix, author of The Brix Maritime Story, will sign copies of this history of the Brix family and its relationship to commerce on the Lower Columbia River on July 9 from 1-3 p.m. The story of the Knappton Tug Boat Company and its importance to logging, bridge building and the lives of people on the Lower Columbia River is beautifully told in Mr. Brix's book. The Knappton Tug Boat Company's history is interrelated with Brusco Tug & Barge and Foss Maritime, two companies currently involved in business on the river highway that flows by our communities.

The Brix maritime Story will be available for purchase during the book signing.

The River Life Interpretive Center at Redmen Hall is located at 1349 SR 4, Skamokawa.
