The Steveston lifeboat was built in Pearl Harbor in 1944 and saw extensive service with the U.S. Navy. Purchased by Horton in 1988, she has been used in the volunteer search and rescue service of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Canadian Lifeboat Institution. She remains in excellent condition.
A common sight on the Fraser River she has offered assistance to mariners in trouble on over 650 occasions. |
Hey Outmywindow, the Steveston Lifeboat is featured on the cover of the current issue of Western Mariner magazine.
Neat boat, didn't realize she was wood.
Speaking of wood, the issue features several local wood boat builders. Beautiful stuff!
