ARAHO
The 120 foot stern trawler ARAHO was built at Gamage Shipbuilding, South Bristol, Maine, and launched in the spring of 1979 . With a steel hull, she was the largest trawler built at a Maine shipyard since the 1930's. Francis J. O'Hara & Sons of Rockland, Maine, was the owner. This photo before lauching shows the Kort System nozzle and propeller, which probelled and steered the boat. The designer John Gilbert is at the left with Lin Gamage, shipbuilder.
