I saw the Northwestern Go Through the Seattle Boat Locks Today

[@markyochoa]

The design of the Northwestern is so unique. It's simple but also elegant. Such a beautiful design.

[@jeffmech600]

Unique among crabbing, but there were 1000s of marco hull fishing vessels worldwide. Its an extremely seaworthy design.

Interesting video - The maneuverability of the boat was intriguing. My family and I met Edgar Hansen at the NY State Fair (Syr. NY) several years ago for the Discovery Channel was promoting them (Jake Anderson was to attend but couldn't). It was a pretty big crowd. Seemed like a nice guy - gave us an autograph to give to our son who couldn't be there. Anyway, I made a comment to him pointing to the crowds and said, "Did you ever think that this documentary you are part of would've been this big?" He looked out and I could've sworn he had a look of revelation and wonderment of the whole thing. Thanks for sharing this!

Gotta admit, for a crab boat, the Northwestern has some pretty lines. Lots of working space astern and a nice wide pilothouse.

I wonder why there appears to be such a significant size variation, between your footage, and the footage used for the show. I guess it's possible that, for some reason, the show, intentionally, tries to utilize angles that make it appear larger; however, I can't quite determine why they would even want, or bother, to do such a thing!🧐🤯
