Historical Notes
George Schneider (May 2026) writes: In the 2000's she was still classed as a towing vessel but clearly was used as a houseboat. Although her documents had lapsed, she was seen in 2022 afloat and undergoing woodwork at Port Townsend WA, the classic wooden boat hub of the West Coast.
