Cap Sante, "The W.T. Preston was named in honor of the only civilian engineer to work for the Army Corps of Engineers at the time of her construction in 1929 The W.T. PRESTON operated as far north as Blaine and south to Olympia and Shelton. She worked 11 months out of the year, retrieving thousands of snags, piles, floats and other debris, including a damaged airplane, fish boats, derelict scows, and houseboats. In addition to her snagging chores, she was used as a pile driver and icebreaker, and dredged about 3500 cubic yards of material in an average year." Now dry berthed at The Anacortes Museum Maritime Heritage Center.
