Port sues owner of abandoned vessel
Donald R. Carlson
Olympia, Washington
May 26, 1923 — Jan. 30, 2019
By EDWARD
STRATTON
The Daily Astorian
The Port of Astoria is
suing a boat owner for
more than $112,000 for
failing to pay moorage and
abandoning his vessel at
the East Mooring Basin.
The Port claims Nick
Mathias, a California resi-
dent and owner of the sail-
ing vessel Coastwise, fell
more than $12,600 behind
on moorage before send-
ing a letter in September
notifying the agency he
would be abandoning the
vessel.
Mathias is the latest
in a string of vessel own-
ers the Port has gone after
for back-due moorage and
abandonment of vessels
as the agency tries to cut
down on derelict vessels
languishing in its marinas.
Edward Stratton/The Daily Astorian
The fi shing vessel Coastwise has been rusting away for
some time at the Port of Astoria’s East Mooring Basin.
The agency was recently
granted a $41,000 judge-
ment
against
Marvin
Olson, a Colorado resi-
dent and owner of the 1976
wooden sailboat John Muir,
over haul-out, storage and
salvage fees after the ves-
sel was abandoned at North
Tongue Point.
The Port this month
received more than $17,000
from Henry Tomingas, an
Alaska resident and owner
of the charter vessel Wil-
derness Explorer, over
unpaid moorage at North
Tongue Point.
