The Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum, founded in 1977 by William Zerlang and a group of marine artifact collectors, is dedicated to preserving the maritime heritage of California's north coast. The museum serves as a vital resource for members, visitors, and researchers, aiming to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of local maritime culture.

With a collection of over 20,000 digitally scanned photographs and various marine artifacts, including shipwreck items and historical lenses, the museum showcases the region's rich maritime history. It also owns two historic vessels: the 1910 motor vessel Madaket, which is Coast Guard certified, and the 1917 fishing vessel Stephanie, currently undergoing restoration.

Timber Heritage Assocation

The Timber Heritage Association, founded in 1977, is dedicated to preserving and celebrating Humboldt County's rich timber history, highlighting the region's deep connections to logging and the iconic redwoods.

As a nonprofit organization, it fosters a collaborative spirit among those interested in preserving and interpreting Humboldt County's timber legacy for future generations. Generated from the website
