Historische Notizen
George Schneider (May 2026) writes: By 1985 a vessel named Jim Wilder was a houseboat at Sausalito CA, and it is believed she is this same vessel, although because she was out of documentation, no firm connection can be made.
By 1995 she was reported anchored in the mud flats of Richardson Bay CA ("the Sausalito Mud Flats") and that's the last information I have about her.
