Scope and content
ca. 1967. Work was nearing completion on two fishing boats at the Tacoma Boatbuilding Company shipyard on Tacoma's tideflats in late 1967. The "Bold Venture", the vessel closest to the water, was launched on January 20, 1968, at the Port Industrial Yard. The second boat is probably the "City of Panama" which was launched several weeks later, on February 3rd. Both had steel components and were 177 feet in length; they were capable of a haul of up to 925 tons of tuna. The "Bold Venture" was scheduled to fish in waters near Puerto Rico.
