25 FEBRUARY, 2020 - 103 years for this ?
If you look real close, you can see the Captain wearing his waders still standing at the wheel yelling into his cell phone. Seriously though, if you have any respect for wooden boats over 100 years old, this should make you cry.
Being tied across the 10 foot A-dock from the F/V FRANK F. for two years here in Port of Siuslaw, and after researching its history for Historic ShipApplication, I know of its earlier Alaska, San Pedro, Oregon history and restorable condition, this was a last of class vessel that has now become scrap.
