Some items include Pilgrim nameplates, Pilgrim fastener plaques made from the Pilgrim’s hull, and boarding ladders. Leading up to the virtual auction, the Ocean Institute will display some of the items up for sale on its social media channels.

It was sad to see the PILGRIM go the way it did. My daughter attended a week long day camp aboard her about 15 years ago.
I have a unique 1912 125′ steel schooner which I have spent the last 15 years rebuilding over the winters while operating in ALASKA during the summer s as a salmon tender. I have redesigned the vessel for Oceanographic research and am finally finishing the last of the interior details. I think the ALEUTIAN EXPRESS might be a good fit for the PILGRIM spot for part of the year between Alaska, Hawaii and Washington operations.
