BRING THE TOURIST No. 2 HOME!

Recently Astorians were given the opportunity to purchase the only remaining ferry that traversed the Columbia River, and this is exactly what we are going to do with your help.  The Tourist No. 2 has been through much in her 90+ years. She has changed and matured, seen other places and had some hard times.  The best part is that she is still a viable old gal and is ready to come home to Astoria. 

Help us bring her home and put her back to work, providing excursions for residents, visitors, and cruise ship passengers in the summer, and operating throughout the year for special events on board, including cruises as weather permits.
