The bramble had called Port Huron home since 2003 was purchased by Bob Kingler of Marine City in 2013. Last year, Kingler sold the former cutter to Tom Clarke of Roanoke, Virginia. Clarke took Bramble to the Inchcape Shipping Services shipyard for repairs. He had hoped had hoped to prepare the vessel to retrace it’s 1957 journey through the northwest passage. The Bramble will be auctioned off for unpaid bills on the steps of the Mobile, Alabama court house November 6th.
