A Final Salute to Captain Hercules

He sailed the ocean blue, cruising the California coast. If you came upon the ship, you would see him standing lookout. Captain Hercules was in charge, in command of all he surveyed and ever vigilant for action.

Owner Evans Hughes Jr. got Capt. Hercules a life vest because he found out early that the Cairn liked the water and would jump in to pursue small fish and even ducks.

The renowned Cairn sailer has now passed over the Rainbow Bridge. All who met him on his voyage, or heard about his exploits, salute him.
