Purse Seiner 'Tori Dawn'

Anchor Bay Limited Edition #AB108S

From the Bering Sea in Alaska to the Gulf of Santa Catalina in California, the mighty purse seiner plies her trade, pursuing salmon, mackerel, herring and tuna. Throughout the last half century, the purse seiner has been the most commonly used net on West Coast fishing vessels. Purse seiners capture surface fish by encircling them with a long net and drawing or "pursing" the bottom of the net. Today fishermen and boat lovers alike admire these sleek vessels. Practical, yet swift in the water, the handsome purse seiner has revolutionized Pacific fishing fleets.
