M/V Paspatoo

 

In WWII, the Army Contracted ship builders around the country to built 170 65-foot, diesel-powered, passenger cargo boats that doubled as harbor tugs, known as tug-transports, or T-boats. Four were built at Blanchard boat yard in Seattle, WA. This vessel was T-boat 32. Paspatoo was originally commissioned by the U.S. Army and constructed by the Blanchard Boatyard on Lake Union, Seattle in 1942.
Designed by famed naval architect Ralph Winslow. Following a military career, the vessel was sold into civilian life. Where many of these types of vessels were de-commissioned for relatively obscure demise, this is the example of a passion for restoration and updating without equal. Paspatoo underwent a complete restoration and yacht conversion from 1986 to 1999 and complete systems upgrades, with redundancy, from 2003 to 2017.
