PACIFIC FISHERMAN 



FOWER HALIBUT SCHOONER TYEE. 



erected a two-story building containing a num- 

 ber of small compartments to be rented to 

 fishermen for the storage of gear, also a spe- 

 cial meeting room for the use of the fisher- 

 men's associations. Additional facilities such 

 as marine ways are now under construction. 

 The cost of the improvement when complete 

 will be nearly $400,000, and it will be the most 

 comprehensive of its sort undertaken anywhere 

 in the country. 



At San Pedro, Cal., much has been accom- 

 plished in furnishing facilities to the fishing fleets, 

 and the port authorities are now engaged in 

 developing these to an even greater extent. 



Ketchikan has always appreciated the value 

 to it of the fishermen and the trade they bring, 

 and has erected a special float in the "new 

 town" section for their use. Here they are 

 conveniently situated for taking aboard sup- 

 plies, etc. 



Petersburg, which has been the principal ship- 

 ping point for the halibut schooners when oper- 

 ating in Alaska, has several large house and 

 work floats, besides two docks, at which the 

 fish may be landed for icing, boxing and ship- 

 ping, while supplies of fuel, provisions, etc., 

 may be easily taken aboard. 



A TYPICAL HALIBUT MOTOR SCHOONER. 



At Wrangell a special float has been con- 

 structed for the use of power boats, and the 

 same is true of Juneau. 



Everett and Tacoma, Wash., have in view 

 the matter of building special docks for the 

 fishing fleets, and it is to be hoped that their 

 plans will come to a head in the near future.
