The stern of the USS Manzanita which trolled the Oregon coast starting 1906 is now part of this magnificent real estate on Mercer Island in Washington State.
Realtor.com has spotlighted this home in a recent article, here are some details from the article on how this home came to be:
In 1949, the boat was going to be scrapped, when a local librarian and her father bought the stern portion of the vessel.
So, they bought this boat for a thousand dollars, and they barged it over to Mercer Island. They cut down some trees, sort of winched it up onto the property, and put it on a foundation,” [listing agent Lori] Holden Scott explains.
What was once one-fifth of a boat was then converted into a residence, permanently affixed to dry land. The converted boat is now a 1,390-square-foot home, with three bedrooms, one full bathroom, and two half-bathrooms.
