Contino has been the research assistant at the Coos Historical and Maritime Museum for the past five years. Working independently (but with the full support of the museum staff), she has thoroughly researched over 100 local shipwrecks. Covering a 150-year period, she has chronicled the misadventures of the vessels that traveled on the county�s two main bodies of water, the Coos Bay and the Coquille River. From small fishing boats to lumber freighters, the vessel types vary greatly, and their stories range from tragedies to simple maritime mishaps.view less
