The vessel in the footage
The original video description identifies Pelican as a 78-foot wooden longliner built in 1930. Those details are the description accompanying the footage; the vessel’s registration and construction history have not been independently matched here. Other vessels have also carried the name Pelican, so their research, patrol, or military histories should not automatically be assigned to the boat in this video.

The cover image shows the vessel from above and astern, with PELICAN and SEATTLE visible on the stern, a wake behind the hull, and shoreline in the distance. The Puget Sound filming location does not by itself establish where the vessel fishes, what it landed on a particular trip, or its current operating status.
A connection to halibut and sablefish
The original video title introduces Pelican in the context of halibut and sablefish longlining. For readers interested in those fish, the next useful step is to explore their preparation and cooking. This footage is not documentation that a particular product offered for sale came from Pelican.
