2009 Portland Rose Festival |
June 3rd- June 8th, 2009
Ships from the United States Navy, Coast Guard, and the Canadian Maritime Forces arrive from around the world for a four-day visit to the City of Roses. Fleet visitation has been an annual tradition for nearly 70 years.
The USS Charleston was the first ship to visit the Portland Rose Festival in 1907. Canadian Maritime Forces began visiting the Rose Festival in 1924 and continue to bring ships each year. The Battleship USS Oregon visited the Rose Festival in its final tour before decommissioning in 1925. The mast of the USS Oregon now resides in Tom McCall Waterfront Park.
Members of Coast Guard Auxiliary District 13 Division 7, in conjunction with local law enforcement, maintained security during Fleet Week. For new pictures.. Click Here |
