Use: “It’s a Gulf shrimp boat built in
Texas by Rock Island Ship Company.
I’ve been remodeling every inch over
the past six years to be a liveaboard
and dive boat, mostly for on the
west side of Vancouver Island. It’s
the same boat as the Anita-D (1974,
78 foot), only the smaller and older
sister built in 1971. They both came
through the Panama Canal together
and to Newport together. Then
they moved up here together with
different owners.”
