I 've been told that the Pilgrim was taken over by the US Government during WW2(the big one) and that her steel hull was cut in two and she had a 10' section added. She was then used as a sub chaser off the New York coast for the duration of the war and was then returned to her owners. I have some great pictures of her after she got out of her re-work last winter down her in Grand Haven and I'll be happy to email them to you if you like...
