Rumor is it's going to be scrapped. A friend of mine owns the only scrap/junk yard around so i might get to help/watch/get in the way!
The Ship Ashore Resort on U.S. Route 101 just three miles south of the Oregon border got its name from the 158-foot yacht, the S.S. Castle Rock, displayed on dry land a quarter mile from the ocean.
The vessel’s story began in 1925 when a wealthy New Yorker had a steel yacht named the S.S. Caritas built in Germany and fitted with the finest teak and mahogany interiors. After some time hosting famous people, the owner sold the vessel to the U.S. Navy, which refitted it to be a weather ship, the U.S.S. Garnett.
The vessel served in the Pacific during World War II before being decommissioned in Oakland, Calif., and its engines sold. When Joe Sierka’s Castle Rock Camp main lodge burned down in 1948, he saw the ship as a perfect replacement.
On Feb. 17, 1950, the newly christened S.S. Castle Rock arrived at a Smith River mooring. Fifteen years later, 12 tractors took 10 hours to drag it to Hwy 101, where today it is a museum and gift shop for the Ship Ashore Resort.
Old pic I believe they made a post card from this pic.

I can't help it. Wait out the cartoon commercial after the ark is underway and it resumes.
Hey, have you Florida pirates seen this?

I've hunted in England with Sal Guttuso in England a few times.
Just met up in the fields and at lunch breaks.
Never was on one his barn tours.
He certainly has a passion for treasure hunting.
