World premiere screening of MODEER:

Culled from a collection of Home Movies shot by Charles A.A. Modeer, Commanding Officer of the U.S. Lighthouse Service cutter Manzanita (WAGL-233), this event documents work aboard a Lighthouse and Buoy Tender from 1938 to 1940. Modeer filmed the Manzanita and its crew supplying the lightship Columbia and the lighthouse on Tillamook Rock, as well as working buoys off the coast of Oregon. Lighted buoys, some the height of a three-story building, are hauled aboard to be worked on or replaced, and the duties of the crew are every bit as dangerous as those of the men who work the Bering Sea in search of King Crab. A highlight of the presentation is a narrative short with running intertitles. Here, members of the crew guide a small supply boat in rough sea to the base of a one-hundred-foot cliff while a crane atop Tillamook Rock lowers a small basket to hoist both men and supplies.

The sea-faring career of Charles A.A. Modeer spanned 46 years. He was twice shipwrecked, was presented a medal for “Bravery at Sea” by Theodore Roosevelt, served as a Navy Lieutenant during WWI, and commanded both the USS Rose and the USS West Compo. In 1939, he temporarily commanded and shot footage aboard the USLHT Fir. Captain Modeer’s one-of-a-kind 16mm films are not only entertaining, but an important part of American History.
