OPERATION MANUAL
Mary K
Welcome Aboard!
We are happy that you have chosen Ship Harbor Yacht Charters and
the vessel Mary K for your vacation. We hope you enjoy your cruising
experience in the lovely islands of the Pacific Northwest.
Mary K was named after the wife of the original boat owners, Ed &
Mary Smith. They were the original owners who purchase the first of
the 49ft Lord Nelson Victory Tugs made. Only eight 49's were made.
The hull design is based on a Maine lobster boat and was first applied
to a 37 ft boat in 1982.
This manual will help you become more familiar with your boat. If you
have any further questions, about the boat or your itinerary, please do
not hesitate to ask the SHYC staff.
Remember our vessels are non-smoking boats. But please feel free to
smoke out on deck.
Bon Voyage!
