Edgar Hansen

Edgar is the youngest Hansen brother who began fishing at 18. Edgar came into his own on deck after only a few seasons. He is known as the “deck boss” on the Northwestern (an informal title given to the senior man on the fishing deck).

Edgar is one of the most talented men on deck according to Sig. When Edgar joined the Northwestern he took Sig’s position as cook. He does a terrific job of keeping the crew well fed under all conditions and is known for preparing gourmet meals in record time. Edgar has also become the chief engineer onboard during the past few years. He maintains all of the machinery onboard including the main and auxiliary engines, hydraulic systems, sea water pumps and fuel systems.
