Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch shows captains taking their fishing vessels into the Bering Sea. But there are several fishing vessels that fans haven’t seen in several seasons or even years. So, what happened to the F/V Lady Alaska? Here’s what we know.
Where is the ‘Deadliest Catch’ F/V Lady Alaska
The F/V Lady Alaska led by Captain Peter Liske was featured early on in Deadliest Catch, but fans haven’t seen the 31-year-old boat in years. So, what happened?
Deadliest Catch producers never mentioned why they no longer feature the vessel, but fans have their ideas. Many fans on Reddit believe that producers only wanted the Lady Alaska for a short stint on the show, thus not featuring it in later seasons.
“There were lots of boats in and out for a season or two early in the show, either the producers didn’t want them back or they didn’t want to be on the show again (or they quit fishing),” a fan on Reddit explained. “I liked it. It wasn’t the same boats doing the exact same thing like the show is now.”
Another fan mentioned that the Lady Alaska was no longer in use for crab fishing. “The Lady Alaska was parked indefinitely shortly after rationalization and was only used as a salmon/cod tender,” they wrote.
