  1. Am I seeing things, or what . . . . Is that a helo, between the powerblocks ? click on photo to enlarge.

    Let me know.

  2. That looks better…. Anybody have info on the other boat? I was told she was Mexican owned and the name was Alpha Conseco. There were 2 built like this. The other was named Beta "something"

  3. Yeah Jimmy, They were both tied up @ the Embarcadero-here, looking new in 1980. They both made it to Pago Pago around 1982 and were anchored way back in the harbor for years, with only a watchman onboard.

    I remember "somebody" saying they were cannery owned-Starkist, I think, & went "Bankrupt" making the trip over. The color scheme was a Navy gray with a white superstructure & black trim.

    Pretty sure the names were Conseco Alfa & Conseco Beta if my memory serves me correctly. I might have a pic of one I can send you.
