Liseron
A Legacy at Sea
A Vessel of History
Life Aboard Liseron
Originally built in Washington in 1953, Liseron is a 145-foot, wood-hulled vessel that began her story as the historic French minesweeper M-683, serving in the French Navy. Today, she continues her legacy in a new way by sailing the waters of Alaska as an eco-tour vessel operated by The Boat Company, where her spirit of purpose lives on through exploration and education.
