In 1878 in Seattle, the

"Gallery" was

launched. At least

three photographers

traveled in this boat

through Northwest

waters. Photos of this

boast in the classic

book "Maritime

Memories of Puget

Sound," inspired

Peter to have his own

"Gallery". In

November 2002, he

obtained the hulls for

a 43 foot catamaran and spent 22 months designing his boat.

Contstruction began in August 2004. The "Gallery" was launched in June

2006: the first new vessel built at the historic Albert Jensen & Sons

Shipyard in Friday Harbor, Washingon in over 20 years.
