The "Double Eagle" is being featured on the new Travel Channel series
"Amazing Vacation Homes" this season.
|
The “Double Eagle” is now permanently
docked on 10 acres high on the bluff overlooking the Homer Spit, Kachemak Bay and Mt.
Augustine volcano. The view from any one of its three decks is a living
picture that you will want to etch in your memory. Eagles, sea gulls and
ravens frequently cruise past the ship on the thermals.
Accommodations include 2 private
bedrooms, living room with foldout sleeper sofa, kitchen, 2 and ˝ bathrooms,
and three decks. |
Alaska Adventure Cabins began the restoration in the Fall of 2001 and
completed the restoration / renovation on August 4th, 2002. Restoration
included a custom trailer / foundation and required the top two decks to be
removed so the load would clear overhead utility lines. Tolloff Crane
Service of Nikiski reset the top two decks onto the hull in May of 2002.
The
“Double Eagle” was originally built as a Gulf
Coast Tour / Cruise boat, but was converted to a Gulf Coast Shrimper. On
March 24, 1989, the tanker Exxon Valdez grounded on Bligh Reef in the
upper part of Prince William Sound. The tanker was carrying approximately
53 million gallons of crude oil. Within a few days, it had spilled almost
11 million gallons of the oil into Prince William Sound. It was then that
the “Double Eagle” was brought to Alaska to work and serve as a crew
quarters during the cleanup.
