Gig Harbor

JT and I took a day to stroll around Gig Harbor. It's a small, historic fishing harbor and a very quaint town.



The pilot of the sailboat called a cheerful "Aaargh!" to go with his flags.


We spotted this truck for sale and I couldn't resist its colorful personality.

This is the 65-foot fishing vessel Shenandoah being restored at the Harbor History Museum.

The Shenandoah was built in 1925 at the Skansie Ship Building Company in Gig Harbor, and is one of only two Skansie-built purse seiners remaining in Gig Harbor. The Shenandoah was operated almost exclusively at the Salmon Banks in the San Juan Islands, though she also made several trips to Alaska.
