Time Bandit

[Oregon Viking]

A friend of mine worked there just up the road a bit from me.

Built in 1991 at the Giddings Boat Works in Coos Bay , Oregon, the F/V Time Bandit is a 298 ton, 113 foot house-aft boat with a beam 28 feet across. It has an 8 foot draft and is powered by two 425 horsepower Cummins engines with a cruising speed of 9 knots. It has a hold capacity of 120,000 pounds for king crab, 175,000 for snow crab and 370,000 for salmon.

I wonder how long it will remain working until it's scrapped. Another 32 years or more. It's interesting to me how we put a lot of money and time into some of the machines we build and some last only a few years and others might be around for a lifetime and beyond.
