List of awards and nominations received by Deadliest Catch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The documentary and reality television series Deadliest Catch showcases the lives and tribulations of the men and women who work aboard crabbing and fishing vessels in the Bering Sea. As Original Productions produces the show, more than 30,000 hours of footage are captured by various boats and edited into between 10 and 21 episodes per season.[1] Since its debut on the Discovery Channel in 2005, the show has amassed an extensive list of award nominations and wins. To date, the only fishing vessel that has appeared in all 15 seasons is the F/V Northwestern, captained by Sig and Edgar Hansen. The ship, its captains, and workers have also been featured in the pilot episode, spin-off mini-series, and several specials.
