Tacoma Boat launched a Pacific Coast-type purse seiner. The "F. D. Roosevelt" was built under the UNRRA contract for Yugoslavia. It is a modern boat completely refrigerated, powered by a 360 horse power engine, with diesel generators, 85 feet long, 22 foot beam and a 10,000 mile range. Miss Margaret Marinkovich (second from right) was the launching sponsor, Marcus Nalley, second from left. (T. Times, 7/1/46, p. 3).
