Record
Occurrence RemarksFrom the personal collection of Sherry Hendrickson's uncle, Gordon Garrett, who died perhaps 10 years ago (2017-10=2007). He was employed in commercial fisheries (primarily tuna) out of San Diego, CA for many years (she's pretty sure it was mostly in the 1940s and into the early 1950s). The rostrum came to Dean Hendrickson family (Jacob) after his death when Sherry's father was dealing with his estate. Sherry to ask her dad for more detail.
