The caches in this series are named from a documentary/reality
television series on a documentary satellite/cable channel. It
portrays the real life events aboard fishing vessels in the Bering
Sea during the Alaskan king crab and C. opilio crab fishing
seasons.
The show's name derives from the inherent high risk of injury or
death the crews face due to the hazardous work environment and
nature of the work itself. Something that shouldn’t happen
when looking for these caches!
This cache series will features some of the various fishing
boats from the deadliest catch.

vessels.
Bender Shipyard in Louisiana converted the Wizard to a crabber
