Owners name was John Magone of Magone Marine Services. I don't remember the brothers name.

There was also a show I believe on Discovery about a recovery company that retrieved barges and beached crab boat sized vessals.The Men would be battleing rough see's and abort the job till morning.The owner of the company had a Brother,real burly with a full beard.He would stay on the battered wreck all night while being tossed around,and cooked hot dogs off a cutting torch flame.A real hard working and tough Man with a heart of gold.After the show was filmed He died in a scuba diving accident.

I remember that show. Never understood how he could stay in a burned out boat that had to reek of fire, and oil floating in the engine room, and cook hot dogs using a cutting torch. They were a hard working crew. It almost seems like being on Discovery is not good for ones life span. This man died while diving, Captain Phil Harris from Deadliest Catch passed away from heart problems while on the show and now Captain John Selvick. Sailors are a superstitious bunch, they many have second thoughts about appearing on a TV show.

Sad news. His descendants will always have footage of him doing what made him well known and what he loved doing. RIP Captain.

I know there had been several members here that watched the show. He had been battling cancer the last several months.
