SEINER #6

Limited edition print by Alaskan artist, Tom Crestodina. Edition size: 500

Print size: 19" x 13"  

This is a roughly to-scale cutaway drawing of a fishing vessel built in 1946 in Seattle, repowered years later with a Cummins N855 main engine. The actual vessel is 56 feet long and can hold about 25 tons of salmon.

The boat was built as a fish trap tender, but converted to purse seine gear in the 1950s. She has also fished for crab, shrimp, and herring.

The original drawing is the property of the permanent collection of the Tongass Historical Museum, and comprises a part of the Museum's F/V Alsek exhibit.
