Pier 39

We also visited Pier 39 while in Astoria on Friday.

The route to the pier was on a rather narrow dock - I had read beforehand about it or would have not thought that I should drive out there. There were signs indicating no RVs (this picture was taken on the way back to shore but you can possibly see how narrow it was - we waited until vehicles coming to the pier had cleared before starting back toward shore).
We were down near where some of the container ships were anchored. We could hear sea lions (seals?) but they were on the other side of those rocks so we could not see them.
Some more of the ships.

A ship being assisted by a tugboat.

There was a small free museum at the pier mostly dedicated to the canning industry and Bumble Bee cannery.

Some more Bumble Bee items.

There were other random items in the museum - many pictures and articles... this lighthouse is (was) near where we are staying in Seaside.
It does not look like a welcoming place!
