Launching. Champagne spurts as with a mighty swing, Mrs. Frank Gargas (sp) officially christens the new tuna seiner, the "Voyager," on February 12, 1972. The 237-foot fishing boat was built by Tacoma Boatbuilding and launched that Saturday afternoon at the company's Hylebos Waterway plant. Once outfitting and sea trials were completed in March, the ship would be turned over to her owners, Voyager, Inc., of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Photograph ordered by Tacoma Boatbuilding.
