Garibaldi Maritime Museum
In August 1788, Captain Robert Gray and his ship the Lady Washington came ashore for supplies in Tillamook Bay. In May 1792, he sailed the Columbia Rediviva into the Columbia River.
The Garibaldi Maritime Museum tells the story of Captain Gray, his sailing vessels, and his historic visit to Tillamook Bay and Oregon’s north coast.
While You’re Here
Whitney Mill Chimney
Towering over the south of Garibaldi’s downtown is one of the largest manmade structures on the Oregon coast. Built in 1927, it’s the last remaining evidence of the Whitney Lumber Mill. No public access.
Hobsonville Point
This shoreline was first home to Tillamook tribal villages, then later to a nonreservation settlement of displaced Native families. In the early 20th century, the town of Hobsonville was home to a lumber mill, salmon cannery, creamery, post office, and hotel—all gone. No public access.
Ghost Hole
This popular salmon fishing spot is only accessible by water. A large turnout off Highway 101 offers panoramic views of the bay and at times dozens of boats hoping to catch a fall Chinook.
