Bay Queen

We’ve seen this vessel before here, although not as much of it, and  there’s more on it at the end of this post.

She looks to have at least a 400 hp.

 

 

 

Happy holidays . . .

To be fair, I did not see her underway, although I’d love to have.

These photos were taken last week in Southport, NC.  Here’s more info on Bay Queen: built in Orange, TX in 1941 as NOKA (YN 54), later DORIS LOVELAND , RUSSELL 16*, and LIN CLAY.  She underwent conversion at Willoughby Spit, VA about 1994.

*The name Russell 16 has been used for more than one boat.
