Anecdotes
Chris Rampley (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 15/08/2019) stated that "I found her laying in Goble, Oregon on the Columbia. At some point this vessel was covered in steel from the rub rail to the keel, I was curious about that unusual feature. Last state registration sticker was 2011."
