Cannery tender

Most commonly used in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, cannery tenders transported fish from cannery-owned fish traps to canneries.

[1] After commercial fish traps were banned in Washington in 1934 and in Alaska in 1959, many of the cannery tenders were sold to private operators for use as fishing boats[2] or towing vessels.

[3] Chacon was one of two identical cannery tenders operated by Fidalgo Island Packing Company.

Chacon can be visited at her permanent location in Chugiak, Alaska.
