Raymond's Willapa Seaport Museum will feature a new display focused on locally constructed WWI-era wooden cargo ships when the museum reopens to the public this Wednesday, Feb. 1, following its annual maintenance closure.

Known as Ferris-style cargo ships, a total of ten of the vessels were constructed in Raymond, according to museum director Pete Darrah and volunteer Tim Thompson, though others were also built locally in places such as Aberdeen and Tacoma.

Built quickly and cheaply as a means of transporting supplies to Europe following the United States' entry into WWI in April 1917, the Armistice of November 1918 meant there was no longer an acute need for the vessels.
