Don't know who owns it now; the contractor was Pacific Marine Ship Repair. Included a functional marine railway for hauling the 'sweep out of the water. With all of that wood in the hull, a minesweeper is way heavier than a steel ship of the same general dimensions.

I've looked at the site with Google Earth, and it appears that the building where my office was is now the Umpqua Veterinary Hospital or something.

Well, it was a zoo when I was there!

[QUOTE="Beetle, post: 574183, member: 1066"] Don't know who owns it now; the contractor was Pacific Marine Ship Repair. Included a functional marine railway for hauling the 'sweep out of the water. With all of that wood in the hull, a minesweeper is way heavier than a steel ship of the same general dimensions. I've looked at the site with Google Earth, and it appears that the building where my office was is now the Umpqua Veterinary Hospital or something. Well, it was a zoo when I was there! :D:whistle: [/QUOTE]
