Steer the Well, Kings Pointer

She was a great ship. Hopefully the Academy will receive a vessel of equal quality and functionality.
Perhaps the next ship will be slightly useful.
more room on the pier for tugboats!

Seeing the old Kings Pointer at her new home across the channel in Galveston, TX is certainly a strange sight. Of all the shortfalls she brought with her, she had an equal number of benefits. Though we didn't use her much, she is still a proud sight to have her resembling the blue and white Kings Pointer colors. Its just one of those things that reminds me of home at KP. Staff, midshipmen, and training ships come and go with time but one thing remains is that we are all part of the great history and legacy that is the United States Merchant Marine Academy.
Good jjob
