The Hanthorn Cannery Foundation is a Federal 501 C 3 corporation dedicated to the
preservation of Cannery History, all cannery workers, and the Fishing Industry livelihood as it was developed
from 1875 to the present. Its current goals are to create an interpretive
center, a Cannery Woman's Memorial Park, and scholarship funds while maintaining
its headquarter at the Hanthorn Cannery in Astoria, Oregon.
Foundation History 
 The Hanthorn Cannery Foundation was developed in 2003 by many of the workers
and managers of the Columbia River Packers Association (CRPA) and The Bumble Bee Seafood Corporation that existed between
1875 and today. Bumble Bee Seafoods was founded in Astoria, Oregon and closed its
Headquarters there in 1981. The Foundation is located in the
Historic Hanthorn Cannery now called "Pier 39." For over 130 years, the
Hanthorn Cannery existed under the following names: Hanthorn Cannery, Hanthorn
Cold Storage, CRPA Cold Storage, Bumble Bee Cold Storage, Astoria Seafood,
Astoria Cold Storage, and Several others.
