Captain Sam Bryant grew up in Alaska and as a young man he started a fishing career on the fishing docks and fishing trawlers in and out of Alaska very early in life. There weren’t a lot of ways to make a good living in Alaska being their major economy is supported by the fishing industry so that was it for him. After many years of hard work on the big fishing boats he became a ship’s captain on the Dutch Harbor Yacht. Working to further his career he was the captain for many years up until the Dutch Harbor went up for sale. Seizing an opportunity, he made a big investment and bought the Dutch Harbor. He soon found out that his workload and spending costs tripled as far as maintenance and finding a good crew he could afford to pay. He also had to become crafty in keeping the yacht and making enough money so everyone involved could be paid. One opportunity arose when a millionaire businessman in San Francisco offered him enough money that he couldn’t turn down taking this man’s family on a cruise. The problem was the millionaire could not find a cruise ship to take him and his family where they wanted to go. Money is money and Captain Bryant agreed to do it. On this cruise it did get exciting with near fist fights, tempers and attempted murder.
