The Pilot Boat Peacock was custom-built in Germany for the Columbia River Bar Pilots in 1964 and was delivered in 1967. She is 90 feet long, 33 feet tall, and is self-righting. The Peacock's maximum speed was 26 miles per hour, she carried a crew of three and up to 12 bar pilots. During her 30-plus-year career, the Peacock crossed the Columbia River Bar, the most dangerous river bar in the world, more than 35,000 times. The boat was decommissioned in 1999 and given to the Columbia River Maritime Museum for preservation and display.
