Yes, the boat from The Beachcombers is still alive, if not actively combing any beaches off the south-west coast of British Columbia. This photo of The Persephone was taken four weeks ago in Gibsons B.C. where the show was shot.
The series ran from 1972 to 1990 and is the longest-running dramatic series ever made for Canadian television. In all, 387 episodes were produced. During the final season, the show’s title was shortened to Beachcombers.

Before Beachcombers was Tidewater Tramp, which starred my friend Peter. When it wrapped, he went to L.A. and guest starred on Bonanza and Gidget.
Incredible programs back then in the early 60’s out of Vancouver. Now it’s all been replaced with crap.
