歴史的注記
This vessel was designed to withstand extreme conditions in the Bering Sea. Her hull is constructed of high-iron riveted steel. This vessel has been recommended by the State Historical Resources Commission (4/29/2022) for listing in the National Register of Historic Places George Schneider writes: The end looked near when, old and neglected, she went up for auction in Oakland CA in 2022. But new owners gave her hope, and in 2025 she transited to the New York area, apparently to work as a charter yacht.

July 1806) was an American merchant sea captain who is known for his achievements in connection with two trading voyages to the northern Pacific coast of North America, between 1790 and 1793, which pioneered the American maritime fur trade in that region. In the course of those voyages, Gray explored portions of that coast and in the year 1790 he completed the first American circumnavigation of the world.
