The F/V Rollo
The Rollo is a 107 foot crab boat built in 1976 with a crew complement of six. During the crab season you'll find the Rollo based out of Dutch Harbor, Alaska. In January or February you'll catch her on the Bering Sea near the Pribilof Islands fishing for Opilio. In the summers she is a salmon tender in Bristol Bay or SE Alaska.
Described as: "the most ass-kicking crab fishing boat in Alaska!" (by her crew).
Rollo personal quote: "Kitty is my hero."
The Rollo appeared on the Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch in the second season.
The original Rollo website (rollocrab.com) is, well, in dry dock. Ya, that's it. Dry dock. I bet some lucky crew member gets to sort that out.This tiny lens is my homage to that ship and those on board.

- I flew in to Dutch Harbor and met the guys Oct. 2008 ,They are the best and took time for a tour of the Rollo and even invited me to eat supper with them .I can say this by far the best trip I had ever been on and will for sure go back in the future.You could not ask for a better crew ,They are what you call true friends .
Best to all.
