Potential for a gang bang.

During a post-beer stroll around the marina the other day, Mack and I stumbled on this old lady. We moved in to take a closer look and saw that she was an impounded vessel! Thanks to the computers in our pockets we discovered that American Pride is a tall ship built by Muller Boat Works in 1941. She originally had 2 masts but they added another mast during a reconstruction in 1986. Until April, she was used by the Children's Maritime Foundation for sailing camps for kids and for brunch and whale watching for everyone. Then in April, she was gifted to the Giving Center in Nevada. And now she's impounded.

Our pocket investigation led us to believe that someone dumped her for a tax write-off, and then the receiving agency was like, what, we can't afford a thousand dollar slip payment for this beast. Now she is just sitting there, in desperate need of love.

When we say desperate, we mean desperate.

A little more sleuthing and we found an auction on Reddit saying the boat was $7,500! Then we found a comment where someone described the boat as perfect for someone who has a million dollars to blow and needs full time unpaid work for him/herself and all of his/her friends for a year. Apparently it is ate up with shipworms and rot and sadness. But damn, it's still so beautiful.
