Colonel Mike Helton, commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Portland District, addresses a small audience of friends, family members, colleagues, stakeholders, and former Portland District employees in Newport, Oregon, Jan. 11 during a ship christening ceremony for the district’s newest hydrographic survey vessel, the Beeman. Named in honor of Ogden Beeman, the district’s Waterways Navigation Branch chief from 1960-1967, the vessel replaces and continues the mission of the Patterson, an aging boat that has surveyed Oregon’s coastal entrances for 22 years. The Portland District maintains 244 navigable river miles along with 22 ports and harbors. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Chris Gaylord)
