This bench was constructed from the gangway boards of the USS St. Louis (C-20) which was launched May 6, 1905 and decommissioned March 3, 1922.

About Me

- WELCOME to my blog. I hope you will return often.
I am on my third digital camera, all Olympus. I enjoy using it and sharing my photos. I also enjoy writing. I hope to share a little of each on this blog. My main blog is Postcards From the Northwest.
Kerri and I will continue to add benches to "For the Love of Benches Continued . . . " blog also. It is good to continue to share with her!
Continuation of the Kiggins House Re-model photos were lost when my computer crashed.
The latest city project, TURTLE PLACE, will unfold here as I have time to add photos. It is complete and maybe I can find enough photos someday to show you the final results. Next project after the two I am working on now. . .

Oh, I love this one!! Very much! it is not only beautyful. It has a wonderful story, and it is made from a boat. All what I love! great find!!
Someone with a feeling for both design, carpentry and history must have made this one.
What a great re-use of gangway boards!
Thank you for sharing this bench with us!! It's a very extraordinarily beautiful and special bench. The model is great . The wood is very of the best and strongest kind. It's a bench with a history. Who walked on this gangway? Where did it travel to?
I have no bench this week for I have been very busy. Painting, cleaning and my computer was playing up. I had to reset the router and now it works again perfectly.
