By 1920 about 95 percent of all halibut fishermen and an even higher percentage of the owners of halibut schooners were of Norwegian birth or descent. |
During this time, they have launched hundreds of boats ranging from 20-foot steam launches to 40-foot schooners. |
At that time, oil was filled in steel drums and taken by locomotives to the end of the jetty before being loaded on sloops and schooners. |
