NORTHWESTERN
deadliest catch boat
 The
F/V Northwestern is an Alaskan crab, Pacific cod,
and salmon tendering fishing vessel featured in
the Discovery Channel series Deadliest Catch. The vessel
is owned and operated by the Hansen family of the State
of Washington; the current captain is Sig Hansen and his
brothers, Edgar and Norman, are both deckhands/engineers
on the ship. Sig's daughter Mandy has fished on the boat
during salmon season, and has been an intermittent crew
member during crab seasons.

Today, the Northwestern
continues to fish Red King Crab, Tanner Crab, and Opilio
crab. It is also only one of few boats that
engages in pot cod fishing as well. The
Northwestern was one of the few vessels to fish for Blue
King Crab in 2009 after completing its Red King Crab
season.During the summer, the vessel keeps busy
tendering (transporting fish from the vessels at sea to
the floating processors, allowing the fishing boats to
stay on the grounds rather than make repeated trips back
to port) salmon and herring, usually under the command
of Edgar Hansen.

The Northwestern is one of
the most successful boats in the crab fishing fleet. It continues to meet its quota and bring in money for
the crew and family. The vessel won both the tonnage and
price titles in both the final King Crab derby in 2005
and the final Opilio crab derby in 2006. As a
result, her share of the available quota under the new IFQ fishing rules is among the largest in the fleet.
