Fishermen's Memorial 11/15/2016

SafestCatch.Net ~ Safest Catch dot Net

The Seattle Fishing Community Gathered on Tuesday November 15th to remember those that have gone before us and raise funds at it's annual Dinner Auction.  The Seattle Fishermen's Memorial provides a valuable service to the community and we were honored to attend.


The Memorial is a charitable organization devoted to promoting safety in the fishing fleets and easing the emotional and financial burden of surviving family members of fishermen lost at sea. In furtherance of this commitment, the Memorial Board established an educational scholarship fund in 1999 to provide scholarships to eligible family members and other dependents who suffered the tragedy of losing their loved ones to the sea.

The Board's hope is that the scholarships will lessen the financial burden on these families and dependents who may not otherwise achieve their educational goals.  

This year's Scholarship Recipients are:

Shelby Henry; Father Kurt Henry 

Brian Long; Father Michael Long lost off the Aleutian Challenger 

James Long; Father Michael Long lost off the Aleutian Challenger 

Michaela Long; Father Michael Long lost off the Aleutian Challenger 

Foster Grant Modesette; Father Harry Modesetter F/V Evanick

Lauren Williamson; Father David Williamson F/V Jamie D
