New Carissa Commemorative Poster - Online order form

This professionally produced poster, a full 18 by 24 inches in size, commemorates the grounding and demolition of the New Carissa. The chip ship ran aground in 1999 and eventually broke in half. The U.S. Navy sank the bow section offshore, but the stern remained rooted in sand off the Bay Area's North Spit until this year. Crews from Titan Salvage attacked the wreckage with cutting torches and heavy-lift winches in the summer of 2008, finally defeating the stubborn wreckage.

The poster's dramatic main photo shows the dwindling stern section, flanked by the Karlissa A and Karlissa B - two enormous, jacked-up salvage barges. Four inset images show highlights of the 1999 events that captivated the nation. This educational keepsake poster will be a treasured souvenir of the New Carissa's memorable decade in the Bay Area community.

Copies will be available starting July 21 - online, at The World's downtown Coos Bay office, or at our booth at the Coos County Fair.
