Portland home of world’s only working P.T. boat
About this episode
The episode discusses the restoration and significance of PT-658, the only working P.T. boat, located in Portland.
Twenty years ago, PT-658 was a weatherbeaten hulk, rotting away at a pier in San Francisco Bay. Today, it's a priceless piece of American history that you'll occasionally see on the waters of Portland Harbor.
