Deadliest Catch - Cornelia Marie

QUESTION : Are you going to try to do any of ALASKA SEAFOOD,S ships later ? I had a friend who sailed on the ALASKA OCEAN (POLLOCK PROCESSING SHIPS .) SHE was 347.5 feet long

Very nice job. I have enjoyed the show for many seasons, and have wished for these for almost as long.

Thank you for taking this project on to completion!

Inky, when you get to doing the Wizard, send me a private note. I found the US Coast Guard Survey for the vessel on-line and saved a copy. It has since been taken down, so I'd never put it on-line, but I'll forward it to you for your use. It contains useful information, such as the dimensions of the masts, full interior layout, etc.... I was planning to do the Wizard myself but am unlikely to have the time anytime soon.

I hadn't planned on it but sounds like a fun project, I will look for that vessel and see what I can do.

At least one, the F/v Wizard was converted from a WW2 US Navy Yard Oiler. These were small oil tankers that generally carried just enough oil to fully fuel a capital warship. With a tiny crew, they were rated as self-propelled barges and were only used to refuel in-port, never under-weigh, and so it's a considerable surprise to find one being used on the Bearing Sea. She was never designed to handle such extreme weather, but obviously her builders built her well.

Here is a little more work done to the Cornelia Marie, it is real close to being done. Still need to do the railing and the lights on the front mast and a few little nit picking things. I have done some pots for it also but hadn't cut them yet.
