My father, Kevin Clark, was lost in the Bering Sea in 1991. He is on the fishermans memorial in Blaine, Washington, which was also his hometown.
Sorry for your loss. I will add him to the list.
Unfortunately, the list of those lost from Blaine is not on line. Most of these memorials are short of funds, and their websites (if they even have one) reflect that reality.
My daughter,Vanessa Marie Sandin lost her life in the ST. Patrick disaster Nov 30 1981 .
The scallop dragger St. Patrick was drifting 30 miles east of Marmot Is. NE of Kodiak in a storm at night when rolled on its side by a rouge wave, the vessel righted but lost electrical power, panic ensued. The raft blew away , the crew abandoned ship , some with survival suits,some without. The vessel was spotted next day afloat and upright . 10 of the crew of 12 periseh, 2 survived. Vanessa had fished with me, her father, on a drift netter in Bristol Bay the summer of 1981. Her mother ,Dona VanBuren still lives in Bellingham.I would like her name placed on the fishers memorial in Bellingham Born Feb 1 1958,attended Sehome High .My phone 907 486 3360.PO box 1223, Kodiak AK 99615 The other crew members were from all over the US, Vanessa was a Bellingham belle. Thank you, Jim Sandin
I sent an email to you Jim – there is no direct way to contact them to place a name on the memorial.
