This is the Snagboat W.T. Preston. It is in dry storage at a marina in Anacortes--about 20 miles from my house. It is at the Maritime museum. To read more about the Preston and snagboats go here
And these are the women that loved the sailors. LOL!!

Good that it's a museum, too bad it isn't in the water anymore. Lol, mermaids in sneakers!
This is a kind of boat we don't see around here...
Wow, those girls are kinda stiff.
An old steamer. We still have a couple on the Mississippi for the tourists. :)
Cool boat. Those girls look like they're having a lot of fun.
Makes me think of riverboat gamblers and the "girls" make me think of...well let's not go there. :)
Your last picture cracked me up, but I still think the pictures of the snagboat are great. This must be a fun museum to visit.
Snagboats? Hmmm. I need to google that.
Love the mermaids. :))
Beautiful boat. I had to ask George was a snagboat was... Neat!!!! Will this one stay in dry storage --or go back out to 'snag' things????
That would be a neat museum to visit. That last picture was hilarious!!!
Hugs,

These look like a fun bunch of women!
Lovely "ladies." Looks like they knew how to give a sailor a good time. - Margy
Beautiful boat shots. So majestic! And the Mardi Gras mermaids (for lack of a better term) in the last shot are hilarious!
What a great boat! I took a while to realize it is ON LAND! LOL!
Gosh that was really interesting - had never heard of a snagboat. Thanks for sharing MB!
