The Union was established in November 1912 as this nation crept toward its involvement in World War I. Fleets of dories were carried to the fishing grounds on the decks of steamers and the work of fishing was not only difficult but very dangerous. As the fishery developed, the new “schooner fleet” began to displace the dories and steamers. These fishing vessels were Northwestern hybrids that melded the design of Gloucester-style schooners and the Norwegian fishing sailboat. By the 1930’s, the utility of this design, its remarkable safety and seaworthiness were all well known. The efficiency and environmental friendliness of hauling longline gear directly from the decks of these vessels was established. The halibut/sablefish fishery has continued to evolve setting the standard for the professional handling of the boats, gear and fish. Although the halibut/sablefish longline fishery has been the backbone of the Union, we did incorporated crab fishermen during their rationalization. We consider ourselves more of a fixed gear Union rather than just longliners. We are celebrating our 100th year in 2012. We continue to grow and evolve but not without the help of our members, sponsors and corporate advertisers. Our corporate advertisers are the peripheral businesses that co-exist
with us in the fishing industry. They range from banks & IFQ brokers,
restaurants and fish buyers, maritime lawyers & accountants, fishing
& seafood periodicals, gear & supply houses, to safety & maritime training
institutions. who helped us Celebrate our 100th Anniversary in February 2012 It was a success because of all of you, Thank You Again Trade Printery Yakutat Seafoods Salty Dawg Saloon Marshall's Guide Service Ballard Blossom Chef John Howie Restaurants Seastar Restaurant and Raw Bar Sport Restaurant and Bar John Howie Steak Adriatic Grill Italian Cuisine & Wine Bar Dana Besecker Drakeley PLLC Ballard Oil Company Minar & Northey LLP The Big Fish Grill Ken "Duff" Hoyt F/V Memories LFS Marine Supplies Ponti Seafood Grill FV St John II FV Chandalar VGS Chateau Potelle - Napa Valley Paul Severson Pacific Fishing Magazine Ruth's Chris Steak House Bay Cafe at Fishermen's Terminal Doc 7 Clipper Seafoods, Ltd.
