SIG HANSEN at Leif Erikson Hall |
Co-presented with the SONS OF NORWAY. Following a well-attended opening program to celebrate, here is another opportunity to meet/catch Sig Hansen, the Seattle fisherman who is now internationally known as the captain of the Northwestern, and star of the Discovery Channel's Emmy-winning program, Deadliest Catch. A Norwegian American whose father and grandfather pioneered opilio crab fishing in Alaska year-round, Sig Hansen began fishing at age 14, and, with his brothers, continues to make his living on the sea. In North by Northwestern: A Seafaring Family on Deadly Alaskan Waters (Thomas Dunne Books, co-written with Mark Sundeen), he tells the story of over two decades of crabbing, and of the deadly shipwreck of his father's boat, the F/V Foremost. Free admission. Leif Erikson Hall is at 2245 NW 57th Street in Seattle's Ballard district. For more information, please call (206) 783-1274.
