They beat me to it!

Got this from @NorthwesternPR ... I live about an hour from Seattle and one of the places I like to go and also the place where the F/V Sea Star docks in the summer and offers tours, is Seattle's Fisherman's Terminal... There they have the Fisherman's Memorial, dedicated to the fallen fishermen... Last year when the F/V Katmai sank, flowers and pictures were set around it for them... On the ground are bricks with names of fishermen... Captain Sverre Hansen, builder of the F/V Northwestern (featured on Deadliest Catch) is also the father of the men who run the boat, Sig, Edgar and Norman Hansen... His name is on one of the bricks... Anyway, since I was off today, I was thinking about making a trip over there, but I got up later than I planned, so I didn't get a chance to...

Anyway, about 9:15 tonight @NorthwesternPR just posted a link to 'check out' and it was to here:

I just got a chance to read it and darn! They beat me to it, but I'm glad people are leaving stuff there, ay know?

'Deadliest Catch' Captain -- Tribute at Sea
Posted Feb 12th 2010 7:35AM by TMZ Staff

Captain Phil Harris is receiving the most distinguished honor he never wanted to get -- a makeshift memorial at a spot dedicated to great fallen fisherman.

'Deadliest Catch' Captain -- Tribute at Sea
(Not my photo... It was in the article when I copied and pasted it so it belongs to them ~ Just borrowing)

Ever since the "Deadliest Catch" star passed away earlier this week -- friends, family and fans have created a shrine in the Skipper's memory at the Seattle Fishermans' Memorial in Washington, just miles from Phil's home.

So far, we're told the family is still working on funeral arrangements.
