历史记录
George Schneider (October 2026) writes: She worked as a survey boat for the Army Corps Portland District until replaced by two smaller catamaran boats. With the Nisqually tribe she was primarily a trainer for learning hardhat diving techniques but also had environmental survey and fire fighting duties.
In 2018 it was found necessary to document her instead of operating under state license. As a commercial vessel in 2026 she is classified as "Industrial" which covers commercial diving and many other possible missions.
