There's also at least one active vessel with more service under her belt, the Port of Grays Harbor's CHEHALIS, which has been in use since 1958.

A fine shot of this historic vessel and it is pleasing to see her so well preserved in the port. 57 years of service, possibly a record for a pilot boat, I wonder?
Saludos, Rick
