In fact, it was because the ship’s second in command, Andy Hillstrand was unable to join the fishing season after contracting COVID-19. The reason the Time Bandit needed someone to share Hillstrand’s helm wasn’t a coincidence. While Josh at first doubted if leaving his own ship was the right decision, he ended up accepting the offer, as the agreement was only temporary, and considered a favor to Hillstrand, who isn’t only Josh’s long-time friend, but was also close to his late father. The thing is that in 2021, he was offered the Co-Captain seat of the Time Bandit by its Captain John Hillstrand. However, if you haven’t been up to date with “Deadliest Catch”, you might be wondering why.īefore you worry about this, it’s important to point out that Josh is still involved with the Cornelia Marie. Why Is He No Longer A Captain?Ĭornelia Marie’s current Captain is Casey McManus, who prior to the 17th season of “Deadliest Catch” had been sharing the Captain’s seat with Josh. In the renovation, several modern features were added to the boat, including brand-new propellers, a radar system and wheelhouse.Īre the upgrades too much? Not really, but the Cornelia surely deserved the revamping and it most likely made the fans quite happy as well. It just happened that Josh and his associate Casey McManus, decided to make several upgrades to the vessel in 2019, which turned out so well that its revamping was even featured during the special episode “Casey and The New Cornelia Marie”, which aired in early 2020. In the end, audience pressure had its results, and by late 2017, Josh announced that the Cornelia and its crew were coming back to the show.Ī couple years later, another big change occurred to the Cornelia Marie, though this time it wasn’t something negative. This obviously didn’t make the show’s fans happy, and while some of them were just sad, others were greatly angered at the network’s executives. The exact reason for Cornelia not to be featured in the show at the time is still unclear, though as Josh Harris explained on a Facebook video at the time, not appearing in “Deadliest Catch” wasn’t his choice, but Discovery’s. Their journey took them to big spots of Hawaii’s Big Islands, while still trying to achieve their crab fishing goal of that season.Īs one of the most popular fishing vessels featured in “Deadliest Catch”, it’s normal that people worried when in 2016 they didn’t see the ship and its crew during the show’s 13th season, which had rarely happened until then.

Not only that, Josh is still an active cast member of “Deadliest Catch”, and even better, in early 2021 he was even cast as the main star spot in the Discovery spin-off series “ Bloodline“, which follows him and the entire Cornelia Marie’s staff into a seemingly unrelenting search of Phil Harris’ fishing guides of Hawaii. Nowadays, Josh is pretty much busy taking care of Cornelia Marie, whose current Captain is Casey McManus. Meaning that while life on board of a commercial fishing boat is of course hard and difficult, nothing negative has happened to Josh recently that you should worry about.
However, this fortunately is not the case of Josh Harris, oldest son of the fan-favourite, the late Cornelia Marie’s Captain Phil Harris.
JI2AayjYxaĪdd to the tragic cases, stories of survivors and those who have unfortunately lost their lives at sea. It’s a well-known fact that commercial fishing is a highly dangerous profession, and as a proof of that, “Deadliest Catch” itself has showcased extensive footage of the many shipwrecks which occurred throughout the years the show has aired.Ĭaptain #JoshHarris has been getting his butt kicked on fishing boats since he was 10 years old! Don't miss a beat of the wild new season of #DeadliestCatch, Tuesdays at 9/8c.
