Notes:
Given to Mary Ann Parke by Ken Imamura. Longline gear and a pelagic gear tray are from an offshore Asian longliner ~ 1970's. Ken gave me this gear to go with a tray that my father, Thomas S. Parke, had beachcombed from the shores of SE Alaska (2002.11.112). The bamboo gear tray from Ken and another set of Salmon Longline Gear were donated by Parke to the Alaska State Museum in Juneau.
