This is the webmaster's own thoughts without consulting other members of the team. As of February 8, 2010

This
vision is highly dependent on whether NOAA would even
consider these thoughts. My passion for several years has been to
create a museum that makes the
public aware of the Navy's Oilers. Oilers still support our navies war
ships just as Sand Point Naval Air
Station supported ships through out it's existence. Just as an idea for
creating a museum here, why not include the oilers.
Seattle could be proud to have the only Oiler Museum in America.

The
first item I would try to create is a road that would connect to the
Magnuson Park roads, creating a loop drive. This could be made possible
if NOAA could permit a road to be build along it's south perimeter,
moving it's security fence inboard about 60 feet. This 60 foot width
would permit additional parking for the Dog Walk, Community Garden and
The Brig.

In creating a museum for the Historical District, I
keep wondering if locating it within an old building would draw on the
younger generation. A modern building would most likly be more of an
attraction just as the Air Museum at Boeing Field. The young have to be
first led to the older buildings.
First I would create a Promotion Trailer that would attract
support for a museum. It could be parked just to the left/west of a
Model Plane Flying Field depicted on the image below. A fine museum
could be built later, as funds allowed. In the mean time planes might
be brought into the same area plus a large model/diorama could be built
by the trailer and flying
field.

See Note right :)

<---The image left displays what I see as a master plan. to me this is necessary because of how popular Magnuson Park is. It needs more parking and better traffic handling streets. NOAA may need more space along the water front, release more waterfront parking to them. Old thoughts in ELLIOTT BAY
Museums for Navy Oilers is impossible But the ship Vern served on will be - A REEF by DANA POINT, CA JUST THOUGHTS FROM THE WEBMASTER :)
