Absolutely beautiful! Something about those old wood gals just puts a tear in my eye. What an era!

[jim rosenthal]

You'd have more than one tear if you owned it. The upkeep on wooden boats makes what we spend look small. They are ferociously high-maintenance. Like many beautiful things.

That may be the case but I think it would only happen out of a labor of love…….and a big checkbook

Beautiful!My parents had a 63’ Trumpy. Very similar lines. My Dad always said, “6 hours of work for one hour of play.”Alnilam1979 43DC

Launched by The Burger Boat Company of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, she was the 2nd steel vessel
built by the firm. The original owners were the Shattuck family of Neenah, WI, founders of Kimberly Clark Corp. To lend Pilgrim to the WWII effort, the minimum length requirement was 72’. In 1941, Mr. Shattuck had the vessel extended 10’ by Burger so the boat could serve in the US Coast Guard.


She wears service stripes on the wheelhouse for her 5 years of anti-submarine patrol on the Atlantic East Coast. Her home was Lake Winnebago until 1989 when the Fox River Lock was sealed to block lampreys and she was moved to Sturgeon Bay. In 1990 she was sold to the Kohler family and in 2006 sold to the present owners, a private Michigan company.


Pilgrim had an extensive refit in 2007 when she had new engines and a generator installed and was totally upgraded to modern yacht standards. Pilgrim is stored for the winter in Grand Haven.
