Smithsonian Report, 1958.—Kenyon PLATE 3 
1. Bill Golley, an Aleutian native, has just netted a sea otter. Cal Lensink helps him land 
it on a slippery kelp-covered rock. The battered hulk in the background is the Crown 
Reefer which was driven on this reef during a storm in 1946. 
2. A newly captured 70-pound male otter is carried from the beach across tundra to the road. 
Otters have favorite hauling grounds where they can be approached and netted while 
they sleep. Although they frantically fight to free themselves from the net when first 
captured, they quickly accept captivity and become tame.
