I read that it sank during a storm in August, 1968. Within a year the wooden superstructure was almost completely gone. I also read that the Parks Service wanted to reuse the slip where it sank and proceeded with a delicate salvage operation to remove the remaining hull in 2009. |

There is a photo in the Silent Voices exhibit, taken by Shirley Burden in 1956-57, of the boat, still intact. |
