ATA 202 Comanche

05/23/2026

Did you know we have someone onboard most weekends? So if you would like a tour or to get involved you can reach out any time and we'll let you know if we are onboard!

Alternately, if you see people on board the boat, feel free to come alongside and ask to come aboard

Our next scheduled work party will be the last weekend in May, the 29th-31st

We ferry back and forth from the Port Townsend boat haven marina launch dock currently as we are anchored just off shore

We always need more volunteers, we have a core group of extremely dedicated individuals but the scope of work means that we desperately need more hands on board, people willing to come out, pick up some tools, and jump into the day to day upkeep of the ship

You can also support us through donation, as a reminder we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit so donations are tax deductible and we are listed on the IRS website!

Help support Comanche!

Our volunteers give a lot, including time, materials, fuel, and so much more. But we cannot do it alone, we need support to continue to operate as a running ship.

Donate today and help us fund a thousand projects onboard, including painting, fuel, electric motor repairs, maintenance and upkeep, and much more!

Get involved. Follow, share our posts, check out our YouTube page, and most importantly, come out and get hands on. Learn the history and be a part of its preservation!

Work party happening this weekend!

If you want to come by the boat to take a tour, cruise by to say hi, or stop and get on board and volunteer we will be there!

We can also pick you up at the dock and there are plenty of open cabins for those wishing to stay the night!

Come out, volunteer, help us keep this floating Museum alive, and if you can't make it out you can always support us by donating either through a one-time pledge or a reoccurring donation
