Earthquake Damages Historic Mare Island Treasures

Mare Island, California–The Aug 24th 6.0 earthquake toppled and damaged parts of the St. Peter’s Chapel pipe organ on Mare Island. Ken Zadwick, executive director of the Mare Island Museum, said repairs will need to be made on the historic organ. None of the famous Tiffany stained glass windows were harmed by the early AM tumbler or aftershocks. In addition, several of the officer’s row mansions suffered roof and chimney damage due to the quake. City crews were out early today working on assessing, repairing and clean-up of the wide spread damage to the historic core of the island. Several buildings have been red tagged and some may be a total loss.
