Before there was a "Deadliest Catch" on Discovery Channel, there was the F/V Cornelia Marie, and the woman for whom it was named, Cornelia Marie Devlin. After receiving ownership of the boat following a divorce, she partnered with the late Capt. Phil Harris and set out to fish for crab in Alaska's Bering Sea.
The rest is maritime, and reality-tv, history.
After Harris' death from complications of a stroke in early 2010, the future of the boat became uncertain. Harris' sons and heirs -- older brother Josh Harris and younger brother Jake Harris -- and Devlin put the boat to sea in the fall for king-crab season, under the leadership of Phil Harris' friend Capt. Derrick Ray, but the trip devolved into chaos and near-mutiny.
Capt. Tony Lara took the boat out for opilio-crab season in early 2011, and things went more smoothly.

"Deadliest Catch" may have hit home runs at the recent Creative Arts Emmys-- taking home four awards, including outstanding reality program -- but when it returns in 2012 on Discovery Channel for its eighth season, one player is going to be missing from the field.
Much of the personal drama among the crab-fishing fleet on Alaska's Bering Sea in season seven came from the conflicts aboard the F/V Cornelia Marie, as part-owners and brothers Jake and Josh Harris tried to carry on the legend of their late father, Capt. Phil Harris.
During the autumn king-crab season, there was a battle royal between the brothers and Capt. Derrick Ray. Then in the winter, during opilio crab season, things were more harmonious with new Capt. Tony Lara, but the financial future of the boat -- and with it, the Harris legacy -- still remained in doubt.
