Historical Notes
George Schneider (Email to Nauticapedia 01/10/2022) states "HARVESTOR (618129), a particularly handsome conversion of a Navy YG. This vessel was built in 1939 as YG 21 by the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, and was sold in 1970, after the concept of dumping garbage at sea became unacceptable with the presence of plastics in vessels' trash. This vessel remained undocumented until 1980, and has served the fishing industry out of Seattle since then. Her last documents were issued in 2017, expiring in 2019.
