Notas históricas
The MMBC states "Commissioned in 1965 by Robert and Gary Russell of Gibsons, BC (father and son), Sandra Jean II worked as a Salmon troller on the BC Coast until 1997. That year she was purchased by Brian Patterson, also of Gibsons, who used the boat for recreation and as a licensed Packer until 2000. Since then she has been in the care of Peter & Nancy Hardy who, working with the Port Townsend Shipwrights Coop, Washington U.S.A., have been gradually reconditioning the boat from stem to stern and doing so without changing her appearance as a BC Troller. Today she is as solid and as seaworthy as when she set out on her first fishing season in the mid 1960s."
