While walking along Homer's Spit I saw this old sea warrior. I liked the style and design. Thought at first they were trying to fix it up for a fishing boat. Now wouldn't that be a major project? Instead a family had made this their home. Rather unique huh?

From what I could discern, this ship is a very prominent feature on the Homer Spit, difficult to miss, and well known to the locals. The ship was once upon a time a freighter that had been abandoned in Kachemak Bay. The ship was originally salvaged with the intention of turning it into a restaurant, however the legal red-tape of getting approval from the necessary authorities obstructed the fruition of those plans and instead the ship was converted into a home. Hard to imagine living here thru the bitterly cold Alaskan winters but I heard they do. Alaskan's are hardy indeed!
