BON VOYAGE CAMPAIGN FOR THE WELCOME
The recent fire that has led to the loss of the Welcome consumed the last remnant of our Mosquito Fleet: a fleet of small passenger and freight boats that made regular voyages between communities along Coos County's rivers.
Coos History Museum's focus now is to safely remove the boat from the property and it's location along the public boardwalk. If you are interested in helping fund these efforts, please consider contributing to the Bon Voyage Campaign because donations are always...Welcome.
