How many wooden boats still in government service?
While inspecting the progress on my boat yesterday, I noticed a large
vessel being completed in the same shed. It's about a 50-footer, wooden hull, and appropriately enough it belongs to the US Forest Service. I was told the yard was contracted to put a new stem on her, and some other work as well. I've requested a complete synopsis of the work that was done and some photos of the job in progress as it might make an interesting story for the magazine. Got me thinking- How many wooden boats are still in use by any branch of the federal government? Anybody know of additional examples? I suspect this 50-year old wooden patrol boat must be pretty unique- and would have been replaced by a boat of some other material if not for the association with the Forest Service. |
