SCHOONER BUD FISHER
LAUNCHED MONDAY

Last Monday morning the
fishing schooner Bud Fisher was
launched from the Walker ship
yards here. Miss Iris Akin
christened the boat as she slid
down the ways into the water.
This vessel makes the 18th sea-
going vessel to be built and
launched by George Walker on
this bay.
The Bud Fisher was built for
II. NJ. Bomberg and will be used
as fishing schooner and will
work off the coast from San
Pedro, California. An engine
will be installed in the boat after
reaching San Pedro, and she will
go to that place in tow of the
Colleen, which is now Just re-
ceiving the. finishing touches,
preparatory to going to sea.
These two vessels are the pret-
tiest boats ever launched on this
bay and are certainly good ad-
vertisements for their builder.
