This is from her 2005 listing on yachtworld.
75' Burger Motor Yacht
* Year: 1941
* Hull Material: Steel
* Engine/Fuel Type: Twin Diesel
Own a piece of History! This classic Motor Yacht has only had two owners since she was built in 1941 by Burger Yachts for a Neenah, Wisconsin resident. The original owner loaned her to the Coast Guard shortly after being built and she then served as a coastal patrol boat in WWII. Pilgrim earned her five service stripes during the war and was returned to the original owner in 1946. The original owner kept her on Lake Winnebago, WI in the summers until the locks to Green Bay were closed. Following the owner’s death, his son took over control of the vessel and continued maintaining her as his father had until 2000 at which time she was purchased by a Michigan resident and had a new modern galley added by Palmer Johnson. “Pilgrim” has been meticulously cared for since new and is ready to begin cruising right now. With her pristine bright work, canoe stern, and gorgeous pilot house Pilgrim is a timeless classic. Her two owners spared no expense to keep her looking original and pristine. This is our trade so we would consider a trade. This classic piece of history must be seen to truly appreciate the care that her owners have given her.
