YN-87
was a Ailanthus class net layer laid down by American
Car & Foundry Company in Delaware in March 1943. She
was launched as USS Pinon AN-66 in January 1944, and
spent the rest of the war securing ships in UK and US
waters. She was decommissioned in March 1946, and sold
five years later to Alaska Reefer Industries in Seattle
who refitted her as a trawler and renamed her Alaska
Reefer. While at anchor she caught fire 28. August 1961,
and was towed out to Port Townsend bay where she sank
the following day. The wreck rest today on her port side
south of Indian Island at Walan Point on a depth of 5 to
15 meter.
