Notes historiques
In 1929 this vessel was based in San Francisco CA employed at Oakland CA. George Schneider (Feb 2026) writes: Although her documents say she was built in 1912, original Army Corps records give the year as 1914.
In 1968 she sank from neglect.
In 1979 she was dropped from documention, but eventually received a state license number.
She had a bad fire in 1987 but again was restored enough to be used, although she may not have been able to use her own power after that. In January 2021 she sank in a storm at anchor off Sausalito, CA. The Army Corps of Engineers raised her and broke her up.
