“Historical markers are typically about famous people and events,” said Tim Williams of Oregon Film. The dedication ceremony held on July 16 featured a variety of people, including devotees from Florida. The City of Warrenton and Marina Staff were eager to accept the sign and see it as a promising effort to help support their goal to welcome a variety of community members and visitors to the marinas. Signage marks that spot as of earlier this week. The breakwater at the Hammond Marina was used in that iconic escape scene where the boy coaxes the whale to jump to freedom. The latest addition to the trail - highlighting the scenic Columbia River views from Free Willy – was just installed in Warrenton, Oregon.įree Willy debuted on July 16, 1993, telling the story of a boy who gets attached to a local Orca and then learns the whale will be killed by its aquarium owners. In that spirit, The Historic Oregon Film Trail was launched in Astoria earlier this year, set upon the task of identifying iconic set locations around the state. In fact, a lot of movies were filmed in the Astoria area, making it a kind of pilgrimage hotspot. Yet serious film buffs know a different fact about Keiko and the movie Free Willy: parts of it were filmed here. He was the star of the movie, and his departure from Newport via a long procession to the ship awaiting him was a massive media event back in the ‘90s.
(Hammond, Oregon) – For fans of movies made in this state and along the Oregon coast, most people associate Free Willy with Keiko himself, the massive Orca with the curled fin that occupied Oregon Coast Aquarium for a few years before being released into the wild.
