FV Maverick

The F/V Maverick is a commercial crab fishing vessel that featured on the first three seasons of the Discovery Channel's reality television show Deadliest Catch. The F/V Maverick was built by Giddings Boat Works in 1982. She is a 92-foot house aft vessel that holds 120 pots and sleeps between nine and ten people. She was purchased by Rick and Donna Quashnick of Warrenton, Oregon in 1991. The F/V Maverick was selected for a camera crew for season one in the 2005 opilio crab season, as partner vessel of the F/V Cornelia Marie. The Maverick took part in the rescue efforts for the F/V Big Valley, which sunk on the first day of the opilio crab season off Saint Paul Island, Alaska losing all but one crew member. She became a featured vessel beginning in the second and third season of Deadliest Catch, joining the F/V Cornelia Marie, F/V Northwestern and F/V Time Bandit.

gollark: You can also emulate completely different CPUs (like ARM devices) but that's slower and so less common.
gollark: Honestly I've never really needed that, but it's useful if you need to run stuff which only runs on different OSes.
gollark: You can also run useful software!
gollark: Inasmuch as standard markdown exists.
