Happy Truck Thursday
Commercial Fishing Boats line up in the early morning gray mist of Monterey Bay to unload their catch. The fishing trawler "St. Joseph", in the forground is using a large vacuum hose to remove it's catch from the hold. Photo taken at sunrise. Light filtering through the ocean fog can barely be seen at the top center of the photo around the fish processing plant at the end of the wharf.

From the blood and guts fish disassembly on the slime lines, to the dock crews that unload the fish from the boats, these are the true stories of the Filipinos, Mexicans, Africans, ex-cons and other derelicts from the Lower 48, who come to Alaska each summer to work as fish processors during the three month salmon season.
Set at a cannery in a small town in southern Alaska, meet One-Eyed Eddie, Al the crew chief, the half-wit Keith, Menter the Iraqi, Jorge, Francisco and others. Read of dangerous, backbreaking work inside and outside the cannery, 20 hour days for weeks on end, forklift and machinery accidents, drunkenness and drug use, rapes, assaults, and one very violent death on the dock.
Included are appendices containing practical information on:
• Types of fish and long line fishing
• How much you should expect to earn during salmon season and other fishing seasons (pollock, herring, halibut, pacific cod and black cod)
• How to secure unemployment compensation after the season and maximize your benefits
• How to get hired as a deckhand on a commercial fishing boat
• A list of land and floating fish processors in Alaska and Washington

This was a great stop on my visit to Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Maritime Museum is located in the old San Pedro Municipal Ferry Building at Berth 84 of the Port of Los Angeles. From their site, "The Museum is located at the foot of 6th Street in John S. Gibson Park. The park includes monuments to the US Navy heavy cruiser LOS ANGELES, the Fishing Industry Memorial, the Bloody Thursday Monument, and the American Merchant Marine Veterans Memorial. The Museum is a special facility of the City of Los Angeles, Department of Recreation and Parks." This museum is fantastic and does a great job telling the story of this great working port. Included are great artifacts depicting early maritime commerce, the fishing industry, and models of many US Navy and Commercial ships. My favorite was the shooting model used in the 1972 movie the Poseidon Adventure.
