Episode Details

The historic tugboat Sandman, a century-old Olympia icon, faces removal from the Heritage Register due to catastrophic decay—over 75% of its wood is rotten, and safety concerns loom after last year’s dry-dock mishap. Though restoration proved impractical, its legacy endures: the Port and Historic Maritime Foundation are meticulously documenting it with 3D scans, salvaging artifacts and functional parts for museums and other vessels. The Sandman’s story will live on through community displays and preserved relics, ensuring its maritime legacy sails on—even if the boat itself sinks into history.
