Scope and content
ca. 1967. Two boats under construction. Progress report on two boats under construction by Tacoma Boatbuilding at the Port Industrial Yard about 1967. The boat nearest to the water is believed to be the "Bold Venture," which was the third of four Blue Pacific-class fishing boats built by Tacoma Boatbuilding. The 177-foot tuna seiner was built for Edward Gann of San Diego and would be launched on January 20, 1968. She was scheduled to fish near Puerto Rico and would be able to carry up to 925 tons of fish. The hulls of the boats shown were made of steel construction; the "Bold Venture" would have a 37-foot beam. (TNT 1-17-68, C-9) TPL-9214
