This 43 ft. Stephens Brothers boat was built in 1929 in Stockton, CA, one of 17 boats using the same blueprints between 1929 and 1933, with Stephens Brothers hull numbers between 574 and 595. Seven of these boats remain in service — remarkably — over 90 years later. Purchased by the United States War Shipping Administration in 1942, the boat served as an anti-submarine net tender in San Francisco Bay during WW2. The boat was fully restored in 1947 and then again in 1998 after purchase by its current owner. The hull is of Port Orford Cedar, the house is teak, and the soles are fir. The fourth-generation engines are Yanmar diesels. The lace curtains were a gift made by a friend’s elderly mother in Milan, Italy.
