CANNERY WORKERS
SPEED DEPARTURE
AT END OF SEASON
Flying on a chartered Pan
American Clipper, seventeen men
from Naknek cannery of the Pa
cific American Fisheries on Bris
tol Bay, arrived in Seattle, Au
gust 2.
Oldtimers aboard the plane, re
calling early day voyages to Bris
tol Bay aboard windjammers
which required a month or more
of steady sailing, were amazed at
the flying time of the Pan Amer
ican Clipper—13 hours, 40 min
utes.
The seventeen cannery workers
were the first to fly out by air,
following the close of the salmon
season, July 25. Workers from
other canneries are expected to
make the trip from Alaska by
plane shortly.
F. L. Daly, Bristol Bay District
Superintendent, for the Pacific
American Fisheries, who met the
plane at Boeing Field, said the
Bristol Bay season of one month
was long enough, and that a long
er season would be detrimental to
the salmon run.
“Considering that this was an
off-year for the salmon run, the
catch during the season was very
good in the Bristol Bay area,”
Daly said. “Over 640,000 cases of
salmon were packed at Bristol

Bay, and only 400,000 cases had
been anticipated.”
The Fish and Wildlife Service
reported that the Salmon pack of
Bristol Bay comprised 569,831
cases of reds, 65,540 cases of
chums, 2294 cases of cohoes and
4,288 cases of kings.
