I created this video to pay tribute to Captain Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie fishing vessel. Phil began fishing with his father at age eight and after high school began crab fishing. He initially worked on a crab boat unpaid until he proved his worth. By the time he was 21 he was one of the youngest captains of a crab fishing boat on the Bering Sea. He had been the captain of the Cornelia Marie for more than 20 years at the time of his death.

Despite improvements in his health, Phil died on February 9, 2010, while in the hospital. He was 53 years old. R.I.P Capt. Phil
