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.
