Built in 1937 in Tacoma, Washington, the 77-foot was drawn as a purse-seiner to harvest sardines from the Pacific Ocean.. As many boats her age do, fell into disrepair. Today, she is being completely rebuilt at the Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-Op through the Western Flyer Foundation, which has a YouTube channel that is documenting the repairs. So far, there are 15 episodes covering everything from steam-bending frames to sourcing lumber to fabricating the boat’s backbone.
