as a rover of the seven seas, the ia
nous old vessel. Glory of the Seas,

plant, and viii sail soon for South
eastern Alaska, there to put in the
fishing season as cold storage ship.
She is one of the finest examples of
the old wooden ships, and, in spite
of her many years service, she IS
still in good condition and has been
acquired by the Glacier Fisheries
Company. She Will be towed to Todd's
POINT, Idaho inlet, Icy straits district,
Alaska, where salmon will be taken.
Heretofore a large part OF the, fish
taken from waters of southeastern
Alaska have been marketed in various
forms, but there Is a growing demand
for fresh fish, particularly salmon and
kalibut, which is the reason for con-
1erting the famous old rover.
For the last two seasons she has
been employed as floating cannery,
nut prices for canned salmon are on
the decline, so her present owners de-
cided on using the vessel as a cold
storage ship. 49, II
