Description
Gunder Folden was injured October 6, 1958, while he was working in the hold of the fishing vessel "Gary Denn." The vessel was moored at a cannery dock, and one box of bottom fish was to be filled and hoisted up through the hatch by means of a crane which was located on the dock. Folden had filled the box with fish and moved it into position in the hold so that it could be raised onto the dock. A part of Folden's duties was to guide the box as it was being raised so that it would clear through the hatch. When the crane had raised the box to the opening, the box tilted and stuck crosswise in the hatch. The cannery manager, who was operating the electric switch on the crane, was unable to stop the hoisting operation. The impact of the box against the hatch coaming caused the boat to sway, and the hoisting operation to cease functioning. Folden was found lying in the hold of the boat. It was not known what caused him to fall. He was taken to a hospital and treated for a head injury.
