Crabber No 5 13” X 19”

Cutaway drawing of a Dungeness crab boat heading out on “dump day”, the first day on which pots can be set for the season in an area. In order to travel to the fishing grounds the boat must cross the harbor bar where the ocean swells meet the outgoing current of the rivers that empty out of the mouth of the bay. This makes the boats vulnerable to the bar’s unpredictable and often steep waves – especially when loade with hundreds of crab traps, called “pots”.

Details include the stacked pots, crew and captain, head, engine room, drive train, fo’c’sle, galley, captain’s stateroom and rigging.
