The crew of a former 'Deadliest Catch' vessel-turned-tour boat knows that time on the water is often dangerous. That’s why each year, they give a “memorial pot” to one coastal community impacted by accidents at sea.
The Aleutian Ballad, which was featured as a crabbing boat on the Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch.” In 2022, the crew donated $28,000 to the community of Metlakatla. .
The award-winning 2021 documentary “Alaskan Nets” is mostly about Metlakatla’s 2018 state championship-winning basketball team. But the film also focuses on the dangers Metlakatla’s fishermen face. And that’s why crewmembers on the Aleutian Ballad, the crabbing boat that became iconic on the Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch,” decided to pay Annette Island a visit.
By the end of the summer, the pot held $28,000 — their biggest haul yet. It’s for Metlakatla to start up its first community fund dedicated to families who have lost a loved one at sea. Smith and members of the community boarded the boat and listened as Lethin shared stories about the Aleutian Ballad and other memorial pots. There was cheering when a check was presented to Smith.
