The Equator.

I see the giant boat every time I go to Scuttlebutt on the waterfront. The beached vessel fills a shed on the corner of 10th Street & Craftsman Way.

This pygmy schooner has an incredible history.

It has been a coconut trading ship, an Arctic whaler, and a Puget Sound tug. It has powered across oceans using sails, steam, gasoline, and diesel.

It's said to be haunted by the ghost of Robert Louis Stevenson and a dead Hawaiian king.

And the only reason it's still here is because of a well-intentioned dentist.
