Story

This patrol boat (river) was built in 1966 by Uniflite Inc. in Bellingham, WA.

Historical Notes

George Schneider (Email to Nauticapedia 01/10/2022) states "We went to Blaine WA, where several more ex-government boats were hanging out, along with plenty of other vessels in various states of maintenance. I took this one, NANCY, to be a 26PE. Her official name is NANCY T (590345). I was highly surprised to find she, in fact, was a Vietnam-era PBR, the former 31RP667. Most of the PBRs were left in Vietnam, and the few that remained stateside were mostly rebuilt and re-used for decades. This appears to be the exception, sold in 1974."

Owners & Masters

In 1966-1974 she was owned by the United States Navy.
