While doing some searching on Navy landing boats google pulled up this: http://www.nwschooner.org/oceanid/

I wonder if she ever found a good home...

she was on Ebay for about $30K I don't think anyone bid. From what I hear, she's a bump onto a dock away from sinking.

But some people exagerate more than others...

farmerdan or artemis might know more

What a shame! I hope somebody picks her up and brings her back to her glory!

I think it might be easier to purchase her for the machinery, make a new hull to suit, or find a nice candidate, and then give the hull a viking funeral.

Could always make a GIANT fiberglass mold, using the hull as a plug:lol:

Yeah, if she's in that bad of shape I would image it would be easier to start over on the hull. I hate to see boats like that waste away to nothing!

Hopefully someone doeas something quick, before she becomes a hazard to navigation and a slavage operation.
