Cattle Boat | Visiting with Huell Howser | KCET

From 1901 to 1998, the Vail and Vickers families had been cattle ranching on Santa Rosa Island. When you ranch on an island, you have to come up with a creative way to get your cattle to the mainland for market. The families had a custom built boat made named the Vaquero. Huell travels to Santa Barbara to visit with the families and builders of the Vaquero and learn about it’s fascinating history.

I live in Vail, AZ - named after this same family. Just visited Empire ranch, which pre-dates the Vail Santa Rosa operation by about 30 yrs. Very interesting family story.

That boat is now decaying on the California delta not too far from Sandmound road. Saw it yesterday!

Yep passed it today sitting on the bottom of sandmound slough. Such a sad end to a beautiful boat…. Meth is bad mkay
