Join director Stephanie Lile for a look at the lives and deaths of some of our little-known local ships and boats that have wrecked and been "reborn" in sometimes curious and mysterious ways. Four case studies will surprise and delight, weaving stories that connect past to present and take us on a journey from Gig Harbor to Alaska.
