Another great seiner that just wasn’t around long enough. Bettie M found a cruel ending when it ran aground in Oregon on its way to unload i believe. There really isn’t many photos of this rig around if any. Send your pictures of the fleet to [email protected]

Great shot of a seiner in a set. And well the other heading away to look for another spot.. [email protected]

One from my fathers collection. I believe this is the Calypso my father was aboard the Proud Heritage when this was taken. I’m guessing 78 or 79. Send your photos to [email protected]

This is the old Stacie Antonette on the outside, Looks to be doing a little better then the Aquarius . Mixed emotions seeing these rigs , I’m glad they’re  still afloat but its sad to see the state they’re in. I wanted to say a huge Thank You to Igor from Marco, its amazing at how much help we get from all over the World. Please send your pictures to [email protected]
