Koreans Fishing for Pago Pago Cannery

Korean long-line tuna vessels now supply fish under contract to the Van Camp tuna cannery at Pago Pago, Eastern Samoa.

According to a report from a Korean newspaper, the first vessel went to Pago Pago early 1958.

Another vessel was engaged about last September, and six more Korean vessels were then scheduled to sail at an early date.

The engagement of Korean vessels for this fishery has apparently been arranged as part of a general United Nations programme to aid in the rehabitation of the Korean fishing industry and the economy of that country generally.
