Lowering the Boom ….

Another newspaper article from  my collection. The Mermaid lowering its skiff and it all came down, the Mast and Booms all fell thank God there were no injuries . I remember this day like it was yesterday .I was with my father aboard the Proud Heritage at G street  it was definitely a strange site to see  when the Mermaid came by on its way to the shipyard . In this photo the seiner Pacific Princess was docked in front and the Antonina C is off the starboard side .  Definitely a  tough day for the Correia family . [email protected]
