TheLightship Port


SWIFTSURE #113 served at the Swiftsure Bank and Umatilla Reef in Washington State. She was built in 1929 at Portland, Oregon for $228,121 with an all steel hull and deckhouse to a standard design of the USLHS. She was decommissioned in 1968 and donated to the Sea Scouts, later sunk at a shipyard in Portland, raised, sold again and used as a floating restaurant. Sold again in 1988 and finally sunk in the same year while being towed to Alaska for possible use as a fishing vessel.
