New Hallam Collection For Museum

We are excited about adding another Collection to The Sportfishing Museum - the GORDON HALLAM Collection. Ray scanned the collection containing over 600 images and Gordon's log books detailing 5 years in the early 70's, on the recent road trip. Thank you to his wife Patricia and daugther Kim.
