Amazing Liveaboard potential, fishing charter potential, work camp on the water potential. Armstrong Bros. Shipyard of Victoria, British Columbia was a respected West Coast builder known for producing rugged wooden commercial vessels designed for the demanding waters of the Pacific Northwest. Built in 1941, PARRY is believed to have originally been launched as TALAPUS, a Royal Canadian Navy Fishermen’s Reserve vessel from Canada’s WWII-era “Gumboot Navy,” before later being renamed and used in government, coastal, charter, and commercial service. PARRY is an 85’ wood frame, carvel-planked, round-bilge tug conversion with a 20’ beam, 7’6” draft, 11 cabins, 18 berths, 5 heads, 3 showers, full galley, main salon, upper owner/captain quarters, extensive passenger accommodations, large deck spaces, and major onboard systems. She is powered by a Vivian 6-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel rated at 300HP, paired with a straight gear drive and hydraulic clutch. The vessel features freshwater keel cooling, dry stack exhaust, 6” steel shaft, 3-blade bronze propeller, approximately 2,000 gallons of diesel capacity, dual reported Kubota generators, radiator heat throughout, hydraulic anchor winch, AIS, 3 VHF radios, Nobeltec chart plotter, Furuno depth sounder, water maker equipment, and substantial commercial/passenger vessel equipment.
