This was originally the Army 99-foot coastal freighter F48. The 99-footers were called Design 216, and I believe 52 of them were built. This one was first documented as a commercial freighter in 1958, named WM FRASER for Ronald M Fraser of Ketchkan. By 1968 she’d been renamed VIKING as a fishing vessel for Harold P. Hansen of Seattle.
