Charles Graham, president of Graham Boats, explained why he chose aluminum for the boat: Use of aluminum will result in lower op- erating costs and permit faster speeds both en route to fishing grounds and homeward- bound with a full load. We won't have to paint or sand blast the boat, thereby reducing main- tenance costs. Under peak load conditions, the boat will require less draft than a steel or wood unit. Further, we can safely predict a much longer life for the ; The new shrimp boat will be refrigerated and thus permit it to remain in the Gulf for extended periods while maiataining highest product quality. Air-conditioned quarters and pilot house will provide relief to shrimper crews who often work in temperatures of 100 degrees or more. The^boat will carry the latest electronic navigational aids. It will be operated by Gulf City Fisheries, Inc., also headed by Graham. Canned Fish or Shellfish Served in 9 of 10 Homes Most families eat canned seafood, an important protein food.
