Historia

This pilot boat was built in 2000 by Kvichak Marine Industries Inc. in Seattle, WA.

Notas históricas

In Maritime Reporter Magazine, 2000: During a 360-degree stability test of Chinook by Kvichak Marine, the 72-ft. (21.9 m) pilot boat failed because a fire extinguisher broke loose during the roll and shattered a port window, allowing the pilothouse to flood. Since the flooding altered the center of gravity on Chinook. The vessel was then laid on its side until all the water was pumped out. Following this procedure, three hours later, the vessel's window was replaced and the roll was attempted again — this time with successful results.
