- Skipper Mike King of the F/V Rebel greets his new "crew members" in their stateroom.
In 1982, Skipper King was tendering herring near Kalukak Pt., west of Dillingham, Alaska, when he observed two bear cubs for three days with no sign of a mother. Possession of bears was illegal, but not wanting the cubs to die, he and his crew scooped up the 20 lb. cubs and brought them to the boat. For three days they had the run of the boat and feasted on ice cream, graham crackers, eggs and honey. When they returned home to Kodiak, 250 people turned out to see the cubs. Skipper King and his wife Karen soon found a home for them at the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage.⠀

Like old fishing & boat pictures? We do, too. In 2012, National Fisherman donated the magazine's complete pre-digital library of thousands of images to the Penobscot Marine Museum. These images, now digitized, have been curated into a searchable collection on the museum's website. The photos offer a visual record of every nuance of American commercial fishing during four decades, from the 1950s to the 1990s, providing a glimpse of fishermen, boat builders, processors, and regulators. You will get sucked in — don't say we didn't warn you! View the complete collection here: http://www.nationalfisherman.com/blogs/sorting-table/6457-search-thousands-of-historic-fishing-pictures
