Mary D. Hume was build in 1881 by R.D. Hume for his
Cannery in Gold Beach. He named the ship after his wife.
Over the years, different owners reconstructed it and
it has been used for many purposes around Gold Beach on
the Oregon Coast. Back in the 1970s it even had the title
as the oldest serving commercial vessel.
When good old Mary D. Hume retired in 1978, they tried to
make her into a museum ship with no luck.
Although Mary D. Hume is on the National Register of
Historic Places, she is not maintained and she is slowly
breaking apart and sliding into the Gold Beach muddy waters.
