Description
The Sun Ra is a commercial fishing vessel out of Santa Cruz, California. This 46 foot, wooden boat was built in 1948. You can clearly see the trawlers, the poles angling out from each side of the boat. Large nets, or trawls, are attached to the trawlers and then dragged through the water capturing fish. However, I was recently contacted by some who knows the current owner and was happy to receive this update regarding the vessel, "He fishes salmon, albacore tune and spot prawns -- not crab. Also he does not use any nets. He long line fishes for salmon and albacore and uses prawn traps for his spot prawn fishery." Personally, I am pleased to learn that nets are not used as it is less dangerous for other marine life. Thank you Sun Ra!
