List of work completed on the MLB-44346

This ship has not been in salt water since its restoration began back in 2002. All mechanical and electrical aspects of this ship are in excellent condition.

She was first placed in dry dock by the Army Corp to be stripped down and restored, after spending over $80,000 on her they ran out of money and sold her to me. I have since dry docked her to finish the restoration work and she is now back in the water just off of the Columbia river and is ready to get back to work.
