Funds are urgently needed!
Our goal is to raise $200,000 over the next 12 Months.
The transfer of STORIS to the STORIS Museum is beginning to move. STORIS Museum is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to the preservation of this historic ship. With your help we will preserve STORIS and open the STORIS Maritime Museum and Education Center in Juneau, Alaska.
This March, we have been informed that STORIS is in the process of being transferred from the United States Coast Guard to the US General Services Administration paving the way for STORIS to be transferred to the STORIS Museum.
We need your help! Become a member of the STORIS Museum, renew your membership, donate or make a pledge today! STORIS Museum is an all volunteer organization. Donations go directly to the mission of preserving STORIS, establishing the museum and preserving her maritime history for future generations.

The STORIS Museum and Educational Center
The STORIS Museum is committed to preserving the legacy of the U. S. Coast Guard Cutter STORIS, the rich maritime history of the State of Alaska, and returning STORIS to her home port in Juneau.
STORIS was designed with a light ice breaking capability by the U.S. Coast Guard with detail drawings by the Toledo Shipbuilding Company for waters around Greenland.
Launched in 1942, she embarked on a magnificent career of nearly 7 decades. She held the distinction of being the oldest comissioned cutter in the Coast Guard fleet, bore the title "Queen of the Fleet", and proudly displayed her gold "38" hull numbers.
Her last patrol was in the Bering Sea prior to decomission in 2007.
Stay a while and learn about the Cutter whose actions were recorded in the history books as being the first US-flag vessel to circumnavigate the North American Continent.
