The Andrea Gail

Photo and caption by: Les Nagy

This photo was taken of the Andrea Gail on the Grand Banks in August '88 from another swordfishing vessel called the "F/V High Stakes". The Grand Banks can become very ferocious during the height of the late summer months due to the drastic change in water temperature in and around the gulf stream which runs its course through the Banks. Only larger commercial Fishing Vessels stand a good chance to weather out a hurricane if one happens across the fishing grounds, and the Andrea Gail was a perfect vessel for that circumstance if it arose."
