This isn't just a vessel; she’s a floating testament to wartime engineering! Step aboard the Gyrfalcon, commissioned in 1941 to survey the brutal Aleutian Islands. Prepare to be amazed by the construction—we're talking about a hall framed with one foot of solid, old-growth fir designed specifically for ice navigation. For the serious engineers out there, you’ll want to see the twin cats and the massive fuel range built to conquer the harshest oceans on Earth. This classic boat reveals new secrets around every corner. Make sure to stay until the very end for the incredible, untold story involving General Patton, shared directly by her devoted stewards, Nancy Evers and Peter Mann! #YachtLens #WoodenBoat #ClassicYacht #BoatRestoration #Liveaboard #ChrisCraft #YachtTour #TrawlerLife #GardnerDiesel #ClassicBoat #WWIIHistory #ShipTour #NavalHistory #EngineeringMarvel #IceBreaker #Gyrfalcon #VintageVessel #Maritime
