In the 1970s...
In the early 1970s, the owner and president Ray Wadsworth built the first Liahona, featuring a cutting-edge twin-screw, shallow-draft design. A few years later, the second Liahona was built.


In the 1980s...
More commerical fishing boats were constructed and sailed out to sea. Here's a photo showing a few of them. Left to right, Hukilau (not built by KMC), Order of Magnitude, Natalia, St. Joe, and the third Liahona.


In the 1990s...
The Order of Magnitude was literally the world's fastest commerical fishing vessel. Built in the glory days of the herring fishery, this boat was sure to win in any race to the fish.


In the 2000s...
In an effort to improve the Alaska fishing industry, Kodiak Marine Construction was sidelined into fish processing technology. But they still managed to build boats, such as the Wild Salmon, a processing vessel converted from a primitive military landing craft.


In the 2010s...
Kodiak Marine Construction has completed the first of a new line of limit seiners These have been designed with the latest in 3D CAD technology, see some of the computer models. There is also a National Fisherman article.

The Future...

Kodiak Marine Construction has designed a high speed 32' by 16' Bristol Bay boat, with a unique patented bottom design.

Here is a photo gallery with many more boat photos.
