"Pappy” is a fishing boat that is permanently on display at the Santa Cruz Harbor,
thanks to its owner Ed Larson, a World War II aviator, painter,
and author of “Gaff-rigged Remembrance: Writings from the Santa Cruz Harbor.”
Larson, 95, is a legend in the fishing world at local harbors.
The boat is an example of a felucca, a lateen-rigged vessel
native to the Mediterranean and representative of some of the harbor's heritage.
