Log Book - Fish Memorial Service 5/3/15
Seattle Fishermen's Memorial Service - May 3, 2015
SafestCatch.Net ~ Safest Catch dot Net
It was a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon in Fishermen's Terminal for the annual Seattle Fishermen's Memorial Service. Alan Davis, President of the SFM welcomed the crowd of more than 100 people gathered to remember those who have gone before us. Captain Dave Shoemaker carried the brunt of the load by giving the Invocation, Reading Of Names, Words of Rememberance, and Benediction. He truly did an excellent job and brings a voice of credibility to the cause, as he was involved in the loss of the vessel Galaxy - he knows first hand what it is like to lose someone at sea.
