The next hulk is the Peralta and Townsite Brewing produce a wild pale ale named after it.



The S. S. Peralta was an oil tanker built by the San Fransisco Shipbuilding Company and launched in February of 1921. She is the sister ship of the Palo Alto.

In 1924, the Peralta was purchased and converted into a sardine cannery in Alaska. 24 years later, the ship was moored off Antioch, CA.

Finally, in 1958, the Peralta was purchased by Pacifica Papers to be used as part of a giant floating breakwater on the Powell River to protect its log storage pond. She floats aside several of concrete ships built during World War II.
