Whatcom Museum's History Cruises sail into 30th year this summer

In 2004, the Bellingham City Council considered cutting several programs to save money. Among them was the popular History Cruise aboard the Island Caper, hosted by Whatcom Museum.

Luckily, that program wasn't cut.

Now in its 30th year, guests aboard the 110-foot vessel can learn about geology, flora and fauna, shipwrecks and the changing maritime history of Bellingham.
