In service, probably whichever Steel Electric is the oldest.
Other than that I am not too sure?

:)the hands down winner for mrdot., is Langdale Queen, which started life in 1903 as Asbury Park, and in later years was totally rebuilt as the modern day Kaloke at Yarrows Esquimalt yard in 1953, and I actually briefly steered this galloping goose! on a repositioning trip back to Swartz Bay. She was another example of the shipbuilding skills we once had here in BC., but her steel hull dated all the way back to 1903! :)mrdot.

S/V Merlin (1889) - Only sort of counts, her "working life" was on the East Coast, she came to Alaska in the early 1980's, so... Sunk by a whale in the '90's, we refloated her, and she ended up heading South to Port Townsend. If anyone knows about what she is doing now, I would appreciate any news. One of the Steel Electrics (can't remember which) M/V Wild Goose (WWII era LCM-3 that hauls goods around Southeast AK) USCGC Woodrush (1944) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USCGC_Woodrush_(WLB-407)M/V Chilkat (1957) If we were talking working boats, I could name a half dozen fishing vessels and packers built around the turn of the last century in Astoria, WA. Beautiful work on them. Built to last. I know of at least 2 that are still fishing. Replacing the engine on them is a pain in the... well, everywhere.
