Sitting on the back deck of our cruising platform we were comfortable, basking in the delicate light that Dusk fashioned to illuminate our surroundings. As we were waiting for the transmutation into Nautical Twilight, a regal visitor ghosted into Harbor and anchored for the night. It was Adventuress, out of Port Townsend.
(From Wickipedia): Adventuress was built for John Borden at the Rice Brothers’ yard in East Boothbay, Maine, and was designed by B.B. Crowninshield. Borden intended to sail to Alaska to catch a bowhead whale for the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Aboard this maiden voyage sailed the famed naturalist Roy Chapman Andrews. During the voyage, Chapman stopped on the Pribilof Islands and captured film of fur seals, which led to efforts to protect their colonies. Borden’s efforts to catch a whale failed and he sold Adventuress to the San Francisco Bar Pilots Association, which marked the beginning of her career as a workboat. For 35 years, she transferred pilots to and from cargo vessels near the Farallon Islands. During World War II, she was a United States Coast Guard vessel, guarding San Francisco Bay.
And in the glory of another morning at anchor:
