RECENT EVENTS The ZUNI-TAMAROA received the donation of HVAC Units from Steeber and Father Co. of Richmond, VA. The units arrived at the ship 20 February 2010.  There were no riggers, no boatswain mates, and no motive power.  They were loaded onto the ZUNI-TAMAROA with lots of ingenuity and manpower by Rich Cunningham, Georg Doran, William Stefan, Jay Schutte, Nick Stapanowich, and Harry Jaeger.
