Historical Notes

George Schneider (Email to Nauticapedia 15/10/2023) states "Pulling away from their piers I spotted a Mike-8 that didn't quite look familiar, although there have been 3 former LCM-8's that tie up in the area. It took a while to pin her down, but this vesselproved to be the 7-SUMMERS (1324183), previously the Navy C200815 belonging to Assault Craft Unit One. She's presently classed as a cargo barge, homeported in Anchorage AK, but is owned by Bobby Joe Stroecker of Chula Vista CA. I'm guessing Bobby Joe is a PacTug employee."
