Current Status
According to the Historic Tugboat Education and Restoration Society, the Nokomis was purchased in April 1975 by Crowley Maritime Corporation, and her name was changed to Sea Serpent. She was operated in the San Francisco Bay as a commercial tugboat to assist docking vessels. The company terminated their operations in the San Francisco area in the mid-1990s and the Nokomis was abandoned in a derelict condition.
Rediscovered in mid-2002, the Nokomis is now in the care of the Historic Tugboat Education and Restoration Society.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:
“Natural Man, in our current version, is a disgruntled adolescent.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“[In early adolescence] she becomes acutely aware of herself as a being perceived by others, judged by others, though she herself is the harshest judge, quick to list her physical flaws, quick to undervalue and under-rate herself not only in terms of physical appearance but across a wide range of talents, capacities and even social status, whereas boys of the same age will cite their abilities, their talents and their social status pretty accurately.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
