No one can argue that the captains and deckhands on “Deadliest Catch” surely earn their money. Whether it’s heavy accumulating ice that risks capsizing the boat or countless other unforeseen factors, these guys earn every penny. And Sig Hansen of the Northwestern took a lot of those pennies and bought Mortholmen, an islet in Western Norway. However, as Hansen explains, the purpose of buying this island had nothing to do with making a profit.
In an interview with TVshowsace, Hansen was asked about the island and he revealed that his connection to it actually stems from his childhood. Hansen said, “That’s a place in the same town where my mother and father played a lot … So it was kind of neat.”
When chatting with Nicki Swift about Mortholmen, Hansen explains that the nostalgic location used to be connected to the fishing industry, but now can be a great place to host family events. “It’s an old factory, so they used to salt herring in those wooden drums, and my grandmother worked there as a young lady,” he said. “Anyway, long story short, that’s something to give back and I think, you know, you can do weddings, confirmation, and all kinds of things.”
