Construction and maintenance of a leased fishing boat fleet at the south Boston naval annex: Preliminary report. Draft for discussion purposes

Attached is a report which makes a preliminary examination of factors involved in constructing a fleet of modern, series-produced fishing vessels for the North Atlantic. The purpose of this initial analysis is to assess the general concept, and to raise issues for further study. This report was prepared by VTN Consolidated, Inc. at the request of the Joint Commission on Federal Base Conversion for its own use and for use by the Boston Economic Development and Industrial Corporation. It was financed through a grant from the New England Regional Commission. As tentative and general as the conclusions of this report are, they seem at this point to merit further attention. The Commission and the Boston Economic Development and Industrial Corporation welcome any and all comments on the content of the report and on the concept in general. Maureen S. Steinbruner Staff Director
