Description: General notes: The Tradewinds Kingfisher was laid in December 1940, and was launched and christened on June 26, 1941 at the Westerlund Boat and Machine Works on Jantzen Beach Slough in Portland, by the shipwright Werner Albertson. It was constructed entirely of wood, principally oak and Port Orford cedar. It was headquartered out of Depoe Bay. In World War II it served as a patrol craft from Coos Bay to Astoria. It then became a charter fishing boat out of Depoe Bay. It was placed on the National Historic Register in 1991, and then was from service in 2000. The wooden vessel was demolished in 2013 by the Port of Toledo Boatyard.
