Alaska Treasure Hunting | Boat Graveyard

Exploring a remote Alaska boat graveyard led to unexpected treasures, salvaged wood, working bilge pumps, and proof that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. 🍎⚓ A quiet evening paddle turned into a full-blown treasure hunt in a remote Alaska boat graveyard. What started as a quick look around old abandoned fishing boats quickly became an adventure through decades of maritime history. From salvaged yellow cedar and stainless steel parts to old bilge pumps that somehow still worked, Scott couldn't help himself. This video is dedicated to Scott's dad, who has always appreciated the art of finding value where others see junk. As they say... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Join us aboard our 80-foot steel schooner, The Alaskan Gypsy, as we explore Alaska's forgotten boat graveyard and search for treasures that might find a second life aboard the Gypsy.
