summary

The M/V Chugach is a 62-foot wooden-hulled crew vessel owned by the Forest Service and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The vessel was built in 1925 and is the last wooden ranger boat in the Forest Service fleet. The Alchemy of Design designed a pavilion that protects the boat and allows visitors to get on it. Several iterations were produced.
