History

Built in 1925 at the Skansie Ship Building Company by Douglas Fir and commissioned by Pasco and John Dorotich. Nick Benz was the son-in-law of Pasco and purchased a cannery in Alaska, where this vessel was used as a tender ship moving fish to the cannery. It was also used for fishing in Puget Sound for over six decades. In 1998, a man by the name of Tony Janovich took this vessel out for one last trip and decided that it needed to be donated to the Harbor History Museum where it is drydocked indoors and preserved today.
