Histoire

This passenger vessel (sport fishing) was built in 1965 by Dittmar & Donaldson in Costa Mesa, CA.

Notes historiques

George Schneider (June 2026) writes: This builder's own ads at the time rendered the name "Ditmar," so there's some confusion, but grandson of the builder, Dick Dittmar, verifies that it was spelled "With 2 T's". On 24 Sept, 2019, this boat was hauled improperly by an unnamed boat yard and damaged beyond economical repair.

She was broken up in place.
