The incredible workmanship of the wood boat builders of the 1920s and 1930s is a testament to the General Pershing's sea worthiness. Very rarely do wooden boats maintain their historical integrity in this day and age. To preserve their legacy Monterey Boat Heritage welcomes fundraising partners. A monthly or a generous one-time contribution will be gratefully accepted. All contributions are tax deductible and we will provide a receipt for your taxes.
