Ownership transferred to the Chief Seattle Council, BSA, in 1985, and she was immediately used as a Sea Scout program boat for Seattle Sea Scout Ship (Troop) 62 and named SSS Propeller. The name "Propeller" was given in honor of Ship 62's long-time chartered partner and sponsor, the Seattle Propeller Club. In 2020, ownership of the boat was transferred to the Spirit of Propeller Inc. This allowed the use of the boat to expand to support programs outside of scouting while retaining a direct connection to the Sea Scout Program. USES:
YTB Propeller is an inspected passenger vessel certified for up to 41 passengers. CHARTER OUR BOAT |
