Red Craine

Channel Islands National Park

Transcript

Red Crane was a skipper of the island schooner Santa Cruz and talked about his island experiences in the 1940s. 

And when the cares owned it, they had a cook over there who been with them for 16 years. The guy by the name of Hercules, Pico. And you knew what you were going to eat every meal that you sat down at the table 365 days a year with him. He baked wonderful sourdough bread. He was actually a Baker by trade. You got in the morning, mutton chops and boiled beans and that bread and coffee at noon. You got stuck. No, no, no, no. Wait a minute. At noon you got roast mutton and beans and bread and coffee. At night you got Stew. And beans and coffee. Other than that, once in a while on Sunday morning, if he felt good-natured, he would. Make hot cakes.
