Herring Tender

A few months ago Steve helped deliver a baby who was named Katie Thompson. Parents Harold and Lizzy were so grateful to Steve they invited him out on their Herring tender boat when the Herring fishery opened.

That's Katie, Lizzie and Harold in the cabin of the St. Lazaria. The Thompson's live aboard the St. Lazaria while not home in Petersburg. During the Herring fishery tenders transport the caught herring from the seining boats to the docks. Steve got to spend an day fishing with the Thompson's aboard the St. Lazaria.
