Pete Beeman, son of Ogden Beeman, who led the Waterways Navigation Branch for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Portland District from 1960-1967, smiles up at the district’s commander, Col. Mike Helton, as Helton addresses a small audience in Newport, Oregon, Jan. 11 during a christening ceremony for the agency’s newest hydrographic survey vessel, named in honor of Ogden Beeman. The new 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)
