Yard builds three scallopers; a clammer gives up on glass

摘要

In early January, Williams Fabrication in Coden, Ala., had three steel scallopers under construction. Two of them will be for scalloping and longlin-ing. Nearly finished was the 90' x 27' x 14' Growler for Lars Vinjerud II of Fleet Fisheries in New Bedford, Mass. On the stern is a shelter for baiting longline gear and storing buoys and radio beacons. The fish hold has a wide aluminum ladder for safer access than a standard pipe ladder, says Dale Williams, president of Williams Fabrication.
