After an 1100-nautical-mile, week-long voyage from San Pedro, California to Portland, Oregon, Empress now is tied up at her new marina, McCuddy's Landing on the Multnomah Channel in Scappoose, Oregon.
In the map above, North is to the right. The Multnomah channel (where Empress is tied up) separates Sauvie Island from the mainland of Oregon and the Columbia River separates Sauvie Island from the mainland of Washington. The location of Empress at McCuddy's Landing is shown by the red marker on the map. Downtown Portland, Oregon is in the lower left-hand corner of the map and Vancouver, Washington is in the lower left-middle area of the map. The Columbia River goes downstream to the Pacific at the right-hand edge of the map and upstream toward the dams and locks at the bottom of the map left of center. The Willamette River runs downstream from Portland to where it joins the Columbia River near the south end of Sauvie Island.
