Ongoing: PT Marine Science Center - Learning from Orcas - The Story of Hope"

The Port Townsend Marine Science Center (PTMSC) is thrilled to announce the opening of a new exhibit, "Learning from Orcas—The Story of Hope," which will be the centerpiece in the Natural History Exhibit in Fort Worden State Park.

The exhibit opens Saturday, September 29th at noon. Admission is free to the public on Saturday and Sunday of that weekend, and open from noon to 4 p.m

The new exhibit tells a story that started in 2002 when a transient orca called CA 189—later named Hope by PTMSC students—beached herself and died in the Dungeness Spit area. Her story continues to the present day through the work of scientists, community members and PTMSC staff and volunteers. Hope’s skeleton has been articulated and will be hanging in the Natural History Exhibit.
