Designed by H.C. Hanson and built by Franck & McCrary in 1930 on Seattle's Lake Union, Comrade was first owned by H. W. Davis, Jr. The third owner, the Birdseye family, bought the Comrade in 1949 and cruised on her for almost 70 years. Now owned by the great-granddaughter of the original owner! Kathy Weber and Bill Shain have enjoyed cruising Puget Sound since acquiring Comrade in 2017.
