FALLEN COMERADES BUT NOT FORGOTTENThis is a featured page

Each and every season that the men set out fishing whether it be cod fishing in between King Crab in Oct or Opie's in January. In the Dec 07 & Jan 08 season only 1 man was lost in the frigid Bering sea making it 42 men all together,that was until the Alaska Challenger went down with 47 crew members aboard.After the rescue took place all but 5 members had been rescued. It is believed the 5 that were lost did not have there survival suits on which made there survival time from 1 hr to 3 minutes .But when on the boats the Capt's say that it weighs in the back of the mind.David Ness's brother died right on the docks he was working up 2 stories on stacks of pots and fell down hit on the edge of the rail and fell into the water they say he was dead before hitting the water.So we never know when it is gonna be the time.If a boat has too many pots in opie season and ice builds up then come big waves by this time the pots are one big popcicle then the center of gravity shifts and makes the boat top heavy and then it will do like the Garry Edwards and the Big Valley did it sunk.There was just one survivor Deckhand/ CASH SEELE
