Cover art for High Tide in Alaska lyrics by Native Nod

"The Aleutian" was an Alaskan fishing ship.

The fish bins were already at capacity but the captain decided to try and take on another cod end (gigantic net-load of fish; "...another 80,000 pounds to our already full load")

Little to NO safety training had been provided to the crew.

9 of the 31 crew members died.

Do some research.

@glassrockboy You're correct, but extremely sanctimonious about it so I'm going to have to make a better version. Next time, after you do research, just tell us what your findings are. Telling us to "do some research" is completely unhelpful and it makes no sense anyway since you already did the research and relayed it to us. Why you felt the need to throw that malicious line in there at the end is beyond me.
